7 speed

About how I ride:
I will ride (crossing fingers) 3,600 miles this year. I ride paved roads 75%, Bike trail 15% and 10% gravel country roads daily. I consider myself a casual rider, who picks up the groceries daily, stops at cafe and shops. My general daily ride is 22 miles minimum.. I do not race and my average speed is 11-12mph. I have three Treks all for different reasons, the oldest is a Navigator that I put winter tires on. Next is also a Navigator that I cheated and installed a power assist, I have only used it a few times. The one I use the most I got this year 7.2 FX . I have racks, panniers, cell phone case, front bag, trunk. Ok way to much stuff kinda like a purse with too much stuff. I shift gears very little, I have one major hill to tackle every time I leave the driveway.
My question is I found a sweet looking bike, pink Public C7. I have everything I can order for it lined up, both front and back racks too. This is a 7 speed. Would this fit how I ride as described? Or is this too less of gears? I guess I think it would be cute, no real other reason to buy it, but also not wanting to get something that really is not useful, like the scooters, bikes,rollerblades.....piled in the garage
