I want to start biking with my friends but I’m not sure what kind of bike I’d need. I was told to get a 7 speed because of the hills that we have in our city. Would this be a good bike for me? I’m 5’1 and the description said the bike suits people who are 5’-5’10” but I don’t know since I can’t see in person. I like the way this bike looks which is why I’m looking at it. If anyone could help out that would be greatly appreciated

Depends what type of riding you want to do. Do your friends already ride? Maybe take a look at their bikes and try to get something that looks similar.
This type of bike is going to be pretty heavy and it’s the sort of thing you’d use for a short commute to work or like a slow cruise down the park or by the river/beach whatever.
Step through frames have traditionally been considered a women’s bike in the US at least but more men are riding them now as they’re good grocery getters that sort of thing. I personally would consider it unisex but if you are a male and that would bother you it’s a consideration.
