Good deal. As you become more fit you will get a better idea what kind of riding appeals to you and what kind of bike will work best for you.
One suggestion I would offer is to keep an open mind about the option of a drop bar road bike. It is very possible to set up a bike with drop bars that will work just as well as flat bars for your back, maybe better. That may not be the route you ultimately choose to take, but don't eliminate the option without considering it and testing the possibility.
