If you get one get the tallest tires your body height can handle. If you can swing it , go 29" or taller. And stick with dual tread tires (on/ off road) not the big fat knobby ones. Unless you're cutting snow. Had one sold it, all it did for me was make pedaling harder pushing a wider footprint. I also like the hybrid style handlebars I have on my mnt. bike. After all
Its not a race it's transportation.
Stick with the minimalist approach ( lightweight) and you'll be fine. I cruise past hunters pulling trailers or deer carts loaded with gear. If you tag one you can bike back to your vehicle , drop your gear and plan the extraction . This is my approach, you'll have to decide what to bring in.
My next bike WILL be electric. But for now, pedaling is working well.
P.S. don't get a wally world or big box store bike . They don't hold up. Best bet, hit up a dedicated bike shop for getting sized up , they're kind of like an archery shop, they are good at what they do.
Luck~~~
