>>1672593I'm guessing you're European so bicycle types and brands are gonna be different than elsewhere. The type that probably suits your needs best is a sporty trekking bike. Sporty in this case referring to the geometry, body position and weight. Trekking bikes generally already come with all necessary fixtures for road legality (lights, reflectors) and also with mudguards and usually a rear rack. The rack can then mount pannier bags and top bags or top baskets for grocery shopping. Certain bikes also come with an extra mounting point on the fork so you can mount an additional front rack for more cargo or better weight distribution (when you buy lots of drinks and the bike would become rear tippy otherwise). Less sporty ones usually also have a suspension fork and more upright body position but weigh more, sporty ones have a lower weight and more forward body position but usually aren't suspended, but this isn't an issue on asphalt, only gravel and cobblestone. Bikes that don't come with disc brakes nowadays are cheap shite. Make sure you have a tire width of at least 35mm, better yet 40-50mm for greater comfort if you have no suspension. Weight goes up with all the lighting and rack addons but for a fully equipped trekking bike 15 kg are tolerable, the lower the better. Make sure you get a decent estimate of what frame size you need based on your body weight, otherwise the bike will feel oversized and sluggish or undersized and twitchy. When you're between two frame sizes most people opt for the smaller one. Google the best trekking bikes of 2020 and 2021 in your language for optimal results based on availability in your country. Recommendations that come up for me (Germany) include the Cube Travel, Giant FastTour SLR, Bergamont Vitess and Stevens Randonneur.
