The more upright style of a "city bike" or even a "beach cruiser" style bike helped my brother's lower back issues and bike riding. Nice, fat tires to suck up the bumps, front suspension fork (set soft), a well-fitted saddle (almost the most important part, after geometry) - he can now ride as far as his legs can take him without any back pain at all. He tried a Marin FS bike, and that didn't work. Even a HT MTB didn't do it. I get relief for my lower back from riding my road bike with my hands on the hoods.
