I'm looking for a city commuter bike for riding around the neighborhood (brewery, farmers market, etc.).

I love the look of the step through dutch style bikes with the rear racks and fenders, but am looking for one that is relatively light (will have to bring it upstairs into my house). My neighborhood is also a little hilly, so gears are a must.

Ideally, I don't want to spend more than $500, if that's even possible. Anything too expensive I would worry about getting stolen. I am 5'9" with a 32" inseam, so would need to be a larger frame.

I haven't ridden a bike in a very long time, so I don't even know where to start.
