Hello everyone,
I bought my first Hybrid bike about 1 year ago, after about 10+ years of not having a bike. I've been really enjoying owning and riding mainly on the road, here's the wheel and tyre size it came with:
After some reading and watching YouTube videos, I'm beginning to understand the different wheel and tyre sizes however I still do have some things I'm not totally clear on.
I'm aiming to not only ride on road but also ride down some old railway paths (gravel and quite bumpy), some canal paths (gravel and mud) and perhaps some off-road paths along picturesque countryside, so I want to change these road tyres to something similar:

From what I've read, with my current wheel size, I can go up to 700x35mm wide (I'm currently on 28mm wide) - is this correct?
Does anyone have any knowledge of these specific tyres or do they recommend anything else?
Can I reuse the inner tubes from my original tyres, or will I need to get new inner tubes as well to accommodate the new tyre and thickness?
It's worth nothing I also sometimes take my 2 year old daughter on a child seat on the rear and with these road tyres it's very stiff and quite harsh.
Any help and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
