500 metre dog walk?
Is it an extremely small dog?
🤔

You do know I have to come back? I was just saying I haven't been 500 metres from my house, which doesn't mean I don't cover more distance within that area. Government guidance is to stay close to home when exercising. Yes, it's a very small dog, a short legged Jack Russell, which also enjoys a lot of "fetch" in the garden every day, to the point of exhaustion. Gets far more exercise than me, chiefly because she enjoys exercise and I do not. Dog, with size 11 slipper for scale.

I misread that as ‘for sale’ and wondered why I’d want your slipper. Nice dog, though. Good tail action.

Yes, it takes a skilled photographer and a very prestigious device to capture such detail.

She looks like she's saying "FFS Dad, can we go on a decent walk today for once eh?" 😉

Anyway, c'mon Espada, you know how this works, you give us a brief and a budget and we tell you your brief is faulty and your budget is too small. 😉
But hey, we'll still try to help you in that way that people on Internet forums do, mainly by telling you need something we like rather than somehing you want !

...or you could go to a shop (bike shops are mostly still open, but phone first) and they’ll tell you to buy whatever they bought last year but couldn’t sell. 🙄

Are you disparaging my slipper, or the sheepskin rug?

I find I can ride any bike in any clothes if need be. But then I don't tend to wear flares... 🤔 ...do you keep one without a cross bar for when you wear that skirt thing you Jocks appear to favour..... (you know!; the one with the handy pouch for the puncture repair kit)

OK grumblers....
Budget - No more than £500
Style - as comfortable as possible. My previous biking use of mild off road getting muddy is no longer in my sights. Major nerve problems at the top of my spine last time I did that sort of stuff almost had me jumping out of a very high window such was the pain down my left arm. Still get some tingles and need to stretch my neck to stop it. Hence my desire for a more sit up and bed type position, unless the ride is fairly soft.
Use - combination of road, park and possibly smooth canal towpath type tracks but nothing more than that. Would like to be able to commute occasionally, so somewhere to put by soft briefcase and butty box..
So, presumably I am far too cheap and I should be a real man and get very muddy...PS I moved all my cycling tops and shorts to Israel where my off-roader does get use as there is no mud and tracks are fairly smooth.

Ok Espada, maybe you aren't far off with that original Raleigh then. Wee bit heavy, but for the usage you outline, it'd probably be fine.
I suppose. 😉
