    Boardman? Have a look on the halfords website. They do some decent hybrids too, which could be good depending on the condition of the towpath
    MTB/CX

    is the towpath well trodden or is it pretty rough? You might be better off with a cyclocross bike, almost roadbike fast but designed for off-roading...

    it's fairly well kept, it's the Shipley to Leeds tow path (part of the national cycle route or something), there are a few muddy parts on the way but mostly it's flat well trodden!

    any Cyclo Cross recomendations?

    Specialized tricross. Or if you can ride to work on roads instead, Specialized langster.
