The Kona Dew Plus is a fine choice. Disk brakes for big hills and the rain, drivetrain that looks great for hills, upright geometry for jumping curbs and better control up front.

The disk brakes mean you will need a rack compatible for them. Kona tweaked the design so it's easier to install fenders.
