I rode a charity ride from Philadelphia to AC in the 70's on a one speed balloon tired Schwinn with a knee action fork. Big and heavy and it was easy as can be because except for riding over the Ben Franklin Bridge the ride was as flat as a pancake and the pace as relaxed as you wish. Any bike that fits will do.
