Advice needed on buying a new bike please.

[theinstaller]

I'm looking to replace my old quite heavy cycle with something lighter and more up to date. I recently went on an organised cycle ride along the towpath and in total covered some 18 miles or so. My bike has quite big knobbly tyres and I would like to know if having a thinner tyre would be more suitable for tow path riding. The path was quite smooth and dry in some parts, and other parts wet and soggy.

I want to buy the right kind of bike so any advice much appreciated, thank you.
