What kind of bike would you recommend?

I also suggest a cruiser style bike for motorizing. And I agree that front and rear brakes are important.
 
Spend a little extra money, get yourself a decent mountain bike, and buy a shift kit. The results are night and day, and for a few hundred dollars more you will have a decent bike instead of a rattling toy.
 
1973 Schwinn Suburban baby, some problems but it oozes class, and I live with lots of hills and gravel so I will be pedaling and 10speeds are just fine, it's not finished yet I need a half link for the chain.

Man, wish you was closer John-John! (so we could race bar stools or coffee cups) I have a picture of the MP by the door to my office and a green Kulana with a 2 smoke on her. The "Electric avocado" as my wife calls her is awesome! Has held up well and great fit for 2 smokes! Carol's Mom wrecked Carol's car then my fancy high end car died (the $75 radiator needs a grand for parts) and am on her to get to work. awesome bike.

OH! my front fender failed on the moondawg after 2 yrs. Good 'ol crash. Check your fenders. Got good and hurt. "L" bracket failed.

LOLOLOL. "Green apple dumpling Gang" spit beer on that one. funny. way, way off topic ( I know) was at last years East coast rally. Was all Whizzers and 4 stokes. As I rode back from lunch on a Point Beach/2 smoke holding the gas tank up with my knee, I was singing at the top of my lungs (the guts to my muffler had fallen out and drowned me out) "Born to be mild!"

there was rum involved
