It's kind of like bicycles, you have a road bike meant for trips 10 miles or less. You have a town bike that some call gas pipers because they are so heavy. They are heavy short trippers but very good at slow speed. You have a more relaxed geometry for your bike when you want to do 100 mile and longer rides. You have a cyclocross bike for crossing pastures and going from unpaved to paved roads to trails. Then you have a mountain bike for the steep stuff. You also have a Surley Big Dummy for hauling stuff and getting exercise at the same time.
Everything dedicated.
I present the Surly Big Dummy. Fine a way to exercise any time you can without it being in the gym.

You need a Randonneur bicycle

I had one bike once, but it got stolen.
In my town, they'll steal your front door if it's not locked down tight.
They can have the bike, but if they come for my mods, they'll get an awfully good look down a barrel. Yes they will!
