Buying a bike

I’m in high school and I’m looking to get into cycling and I want to do distance riding and eventually push 50k plus or more. My budget is only around 850-900 cad so I was deciding weather to get a fitness hybrid or get a cheap road bike. I want to ride mainly on the waterfront trail in the Pickering Ajax area and it’s mostly all paved and pretty smooth. I regularly see people on road bikes on that trail.

I have 2 I’m looking at right now
Cannondale quick 3 -850

Fuji sportif 2.1 - 850 at local bike shop
https://sportsjunkies.com/product/fuji-sportif-2-1/

I’m also looking on marketplace to see if I find anything but I haven’t found any yet.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Rumble 40 broken

I have a rumble 40 and it’s been crackling and popping, sometimes cutting out completely. I gave it to long and McQuade but they said it’s not economical to fix it and they gave it back. I was considering trying to fix it myself but I know that capacitors can store up electricity so I’m wondering if it’s safe or not.
