My DH and I got new bikes a couple years ago and we just love them. They look like a regular bike but they have the rider sitting in a more upright position as opposed to leaning over the handrail. We are a bit older, not yet retired but wanted something that didn't look like the old style beach bike but had gears and was comfortable to ride. We purchased from a bike shop and the bikes are: brand (Giant), model (Suede DX). This was a few years ago but the DH thinks they still offer the "Suede" model. We purchased for around $500 each but well worth it if you are looking for a really comfortable ride.
I don't know if this is what you are looking for but I thought I would pass on the info just in case it might be for you. Good luck and enjoy riding this Summer!!
