I am about to start a new job and would like to have the option to commute by bike some days. The ride will be 4 miles and hilly, but paved. I have an entry level racing bike that has a removable rack, but really want to get a cruiser like I had in when I lived in Sweden and have a leisurely slow paced commute. Ideally, I want something like this 21 speed from Retrospect, but know their bike quality is pretty meh. Does anyone have a recommendation for something similar, but built better?
Also – I forgot to mention, I have some health issues and some days are better than others. That in particular is why I am considering the 21 speed vs a 7 speed. 21 speed would probably be overkill in my situation for most people, but I still want to be able to ride it on the days where I can't handle much exertion.

the best option I’m aware of is the soma buena vista, available only as a frame.
specialized makes a sirrus step through hybrid. styling is kinda modern but I bet it’s fine.
if you don’t care if it’s slow and heavy, there are lots of step through frames from 20 years ago you could use.
