Sturmey Archer FTW. Three gears, loads of range for a flat town, and zero maintainance.
He either won't offroad regularly, or he'll get really into it. In the first case, rent a bike, second case, buy a seperate bike.
I bought a Dawes Haarlem that has done thousands of miles, and I did my first ever repair on it this month.
