Bicycle recommendations?

After years of RSI pain, I would love to try to ride a bicycle again and am looking for recommendations. I would only ride casually or on easy paved trails. My ideal bike would have an upright sitting position so that I don't have to lean and put weight on my hands, wrists, and arms. Also, I'd love a handlebar position that allows me to keep my arms in as close to neutral position as possible (i.e. elbows at my side and arms not stretched out too far in front of me). A coaster brake would be great too, so that I don't have to squeeze hand brakes. Probably I should use a recumbent, but I don't really like how they steer, so I'm trying to see if there is another bike out there for me. Thanks for your help.
