Thank you all so much for your replies! This weekend I dusted off my husbands bike and went for a ride to Waterloo and back along the (new, I think) spur line trail that starts in Kitchener at Aherns. What a fantastic piece of infrastructure to have - it's like the Conestoga parkway for bikes! 
I'm thinking a "hybrid" is probably what I might be leaning toward... Narrower tires but big rims, a comfortable seat and adjustable handlebars (I'm tall with long legs and prefer a more upright stance). I am not really into riding on hilly trails anymore (was when I was younger) but might want to do the occasional gravel rail-trail... But I think it's mostly going to be pavement riding.
These two caught my eye...

Any thoughts on either of those?
