England, flat but enough hills to want a very low gear and good brakes.
To work, shopping, terrible road surfaces and muddy tracks, lifting over stiles, all purpose bike.
Type, make, type of gears, brakes etc.

Ridge Back. 21 gears.
The bike is an alloy hybrid (a cross between a mountainbike and a tourer)
Cost me £250.00 about 8 years ago.

Specialized Crossroads. 700c tires, but you can buy the Nimbus tires, which have enough tread to go off road, yet still low profile to take on road rides. It is under a comfort bike classification. Has a fully adjustable stem, quick release, and shimano brakes/drive train. Lifetime warranty on frame. Check it out at specialized.com good luck!

Raleigh Chopper. Planet gears, back-pedal brake. The finest of the finest and of the most reliable. Thick wheels gives good shock absorption.
