My wife has had a number of bikes, many of them quite good quality. She liked riding. She fell in love with riding when she got her Workcycles Gr8.

It's more comfortable to ride than any of the others. She can ride it in any clothes she has on. It never needs maintenance. It's quiet and the gears and brakes always work perfectly and quietly. It's easy to carry stuff in the basket on the front rack (I made the mistake once of taking her basket off to fix it on better but didn't get it back on before she was going to ride to meet a friend and got the riot act read to me).

It's not a bike for racing or off road trails but for daily riding and carrying things or kids it works quite well.
