Trek Soho 1.0 and others

I haven't been on one yet but from what I read about it, this may be
the bike for me.

I'm a mid life dude and plan on using the bike on city streets
probably more than nice bikeways and 2 things that are foremost are --

NO flats and comfort.

And I mean NO flats. (or the very least odds anyway).

One bike I rode that felt great was a Cannondale adventure3 but I
hated the shift mechanism.

I want durability, RELIABILTY and comfort.

Maybe I should look at this Soho? ....but what else, while I'm at
it?

Did I mention NO flats?
