comments
says: I would say a mountain bike, the wider tires make them more stable on gravel. Much of the time non-mountain bikes cannot accommodate the wider tires and they rub against the frame (not to mention it looks sorta funny when you mismatch the tire to frame style... I know from experience). A lesson on being kind to MY self: don't accept anything less then the ideal solution (or create it if it doesn't exist yet).
says: Thanks! That gives me a good place to start. I appreciate your help!

look into a "comfort bike" $300 - $500
Shop a bike store. Giant is a good brand at the low end. Fuji and Specialized are good brands at the high end. Kmart & Walmart have bikes too, but they often have bad tires, no shocks, etc. and it can be more costly to retrofit.
Look for a front fork shock & a seatpost shock absorber.
You might also look into "beachcomber" bikes
let me know what you wind up with!
