Commuting Bike

[andrewiz]

Please forgive another bike virgin.........

Will need to commute twice a week between Harrogate and Manchester,60 miles each way across the wild and windy M62.

Don't want to spend hours in a car, so considering taking the bike test and buying a bike suitable for the job. Last bike I rode was over 20 years ago, and even that was only a moped!

Anyone able to offer any advice about bikes and necessary gear etc?

Thanks in advance for any help offered.
