fitness gear brand

What bike should I get?
I ride my bike for transportation, fitness, fun and to save money on gas. I ride to work 10 miles each way. There are a few hills, but for the most part it’s pretty flat. It’s all on road or sidewalk with minimal cracks or potholes. I also like to strap on “The Pod Racer” (our kid trailer) and take my kids for rides. Usually just for a few miles.
I currently ride a 21 speed Schwinn Mountain Bike that I bought at Wal-Mart for about $125. It’s served its purpose for about 2 years, but I’m thinking of getting something new. It’s heavy and cumbersome. I only ever use maybe 1/3 of the gears (the faster/harder 1/3).
I don’t want/need anything fancy or expensive. I don’t care what brand it is. I don’t particularly care if it has shocks or not. I just want something that will be durable, efficient and fun to ride.
