For off-the-rack bikes, there’s a sweet spot where a bike is good enough for enthusiast trail use but also has commuter friendly features. A Trek Roscoe is a better commuter or your-only-bike than a Stache, because it will take standard accessories like a rack or kid seat. But the Stache has a better build. Some brands are better at doing this; Salsa and Surly models have a lot more mounting holes and more versatile frames that allow a variety of builds. See for example the Bridge Club that is sold as both hybrid and MTB.

"Well, well!" said Holmes, impatiently. "A good cyclist does not need a high road. The moor is intersected with paths and the moon is at the full."
