Makes sense for people like me with zero off-road skills. But my early 2000s Globe Carmel already covers this. I mostly use it as an errand bike but it's remarkably capable off pavement. Long wheelbase (I have to splice chains to install a new chain), simple spring suspension fork, sorta compact frame with sloping top tube. I haven't ridden it for awhile but it was always easy to ride. Just a bit heavy at around 35 lbs.
