First suggestion: visit a couple of good local bike shops (not just ones that sell them, but ones that do repairs etc) and tell them what your needs are.
Any competant bike store employee will be able to tell what you want and, more importantly, what you *don't* want in a bike, eg knobbly tyres and suspension and twenty seven gears may look really cool, but they're damn all use if you're mostly going to be cycling around town and only doing the occasional bit of "off road" work.
Secondly, don't get snowed under by lots of jargon or gimmicks. If you don't know what something means, ask them. If they can't explain so you can understand, go somewhere else!
Third, have a look at some of the dedicated cycling forums.
Finally: Have fun
