Bicycle for the streets, yo!

I live 5 miles from work and 3 miles from school, so I figure I could save some gas money AND get in better shape by doing that route on a bike. That said, I don't know a fckin thing about bicycles. Zip, nada, zilch. I had a sturdy mountain bike when I was a kid in the mountains, but its rusted over with two flat tires in my backyard. Now that I live in the "big city," I imagine a lighter bike would suffice for asphalt streets. What else should I be looking for? I'm hoping to buy one in the next week, hopefully for under $150..

Any bicycle enthusiants able to tell me what makes a "good" bike?
