How much do you want to spend? A 'decent cheaper' bike to you, may be different to others. A Kona Stinky? That's a full suspension mountain bike. Quite the overkill if you're just going around Stanley Park or down the block, no? Personally, I would just start with an older hardtail, or even full rigid, mountain bike. At least then, you can go through some of the trails in Stanley Park if you choose to. Or, if you decide you want to stick to the seawall, then swap out the knobby tires for some slicks.
There's plenty of decent older mountain bikes on Craigslist. Or buy my GT Palomar!! (Sorry, just had to plug my bike)
