>gravel pathways
You want wide tires for that (>=38mm?), not available on pure 'race'-bikes (very narrow forks to reduce air resistance), they do fit on a cyclo-cross bike.
City-/hybrid-/race-bike + "2 miles on busy city street in the middle of the commute":
A city-bike makes it very easy to look over your shoulder for other traffic, but the wind makes that a bad choice, a hybrid/mtb-model with flat handlebars gives enough 'forward lean' to not have to 'hang on' onto the handlebars, the race-y dropbars give the least wind resistance but are also the most difficult to look around (or further ahead if you get tired).
>Assume rain rain rain and dark dark dark for 2/3 of the year.
Disc brakes work well in rain and a (front-wheel) hub dynamo with fixed lights takes care of the dark.
On (very) dark streets and at high speeds you may want a battery powered 'searchlight intensity' headlight as backup to see where you are going.
>My right leg is about an inch shorter than my left
The 'angle' of your hip joint will be larger, some crank parts can be ordered with different lengths (either ask your LBS or search the web yourself), if you use platform pedals you can (silly but cheap) bolt on a piece of plywood of the correct thickness (on both sides of the same pedal for 'weight' balance), if you use 'clipless' pedals there are filler plates.
DO consult a bicycle knowledgeable sports physician.
>and (c) OMG expensive.
Yup, save your money and buy a cheap-ish sensible model for your all-weather commuting/shopping-bike.
(Some cyclists catch this sickness called "N+1 syndrome", after a few years working out all the problems and increasing your fitness you can always buy a $5000 '200 mile weekend-warrior' model.)
