Look on craigslist and run a search on big brands. Trek, Specialized, Giant, Cannondale...

If you want to relax, look for a cruiser or hybrid. It is nicer since you sit more upright than a mountain or road bike. But you can always find a mountain bike and swap some parts since they are a bit more popular on craigslist.

I still cant find a reason to buy a fixie.
