ANY bike from Bikes Direct will be a lot better than any bike you get at wallyworld. The Cafe Latte without disk is $100 less. The Cafe Express looks decent too. It has fatter tires which might be better on non-pavement. It's also an 8 speed with an internal gear hub. That would make a nice city bike. I'm not sure if it has enough gears for your "hilly" ride. The Cafe Latte can probably be used on smooth roads that are unpaved, but I'm not sure what kind of road you consider "light trail".
