$500 dolars can buy you some great used mountain (MTB) or hybrid style bikes. A MTB or especially a Hybrid will give you a more upright sitting position so you can see what is going on around you better. They have fatter tires for a more forgiving ride, and you ride them on grass and gravel easier. with a MTB or hybrid you can more easily attach racks and fenders.
+ 1. This bike is not a good choice for a commuter. There are better choices out there that will also cost less than the asking price for this bike.
