Help with buying a Bicycle

I have been ciclying since before the olympics started as I was told it was going to be a nightmare to get to work. I never did before because I had a BIG accident when I was 9 and was petrified but now I love it, I am 44 years old, I ride from Camden to Park Royal about 9 miles go and 9 back. The bicycle I was using was left by someone at home rusty and old, it said HI-TREK on the bike. it was heavy and old is now being fix for general things as the breaks become undone.
Now I want to buy a new bicycle to make the same journey, I mostly ride on the canal and some places along are bumpy, I am strong with heavy build but not fat and people have told me that for a beginer I am doing a lot and I should get a god bicycle. as it takes me 1hr or 1hr 15min. I want to have a bike that is fast and helps me climb the little rumps I do about 9 on the way. so the bike needs to have some quality to help with this.

Pls I would appreciate your help as I want to spend the money, the company I work for has offer to help with finance.

Thanks

Sounds like you need a hardtail mountain bike or hybrid with very slightly knobbled tyres. cycle to work schemes are ok to help with finance but i dont think you need to spend more than £400 on a bike if this is all you are using it for.
take a look at Halfords ranges usually good design and qulaity.
good luck and welcome back to cycling.

Are you also struggling with Psychology assignments and feeling the need for help with psychology assignment help? I have acquired services from Global Assignment Help Multiple times for my assignment help. As I'm unable to get time for managing my college and competitive exam preparation all together, I somehow managed to select best assignment writing service provider in UK, which not only provided assignments in budget but also maintained their quality as they have mentioned in their website.
Recently, I read a blog "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy", in which a person's expectations or beliefs about a situation or another person lead them to take actions that ultimately cause those expectations or beliefs to come true.
