Road bikes are great lighter the easier it is to ride, it might be worth getting slime tyres to stop punctures, I have a triangle bag that goes inside the frame that I put a small pump and a multi tool in + my lunch on a weekday.
I would recommend two thick D locks to use when parking, I thread the 'D' through the bag buckles and keep the keys and lock in the Bag.
for weather gear you need a rain layer warm layer and sweat layer to keep out the cold. waterproof gloves, goggles or eye protection.
Fenders would be a good choice as well to stop mud flicking up.
Don't get a mountain bike, really not very easy to ride and heavy. Also lights
You can get a solid beginner roadbike on amazon for ~250. Reddit will tell you you need to spend a lot more, but I bought this one on amazon about a year back, ride it to school every day, and sometimes use it to make the 85 mile trip home on the weekends. It's a bit heavy for a road bike but I'm sure you could shop around and find something a bit lighter, I'm 190 though so it doesn't really matter to me if the bike is a few extra pounds haha

Anyone with experience from buying bikes on Amazon?
I bought one bike in the past, GNC http://www.amazon.com/GMC-Denali-Black-Green-63-5cm/dp/B00FNVBSAW?ie=UTF8&keywords=road%20bikegnc&qid=1465303424&ref_=sr_1_sc_1&sr=8-1-spell
Really was an awesome bike for the price, until it got stolen.
Are there any gems on Amazon? I'm looking for a bike anywhere from $100-$300
Alright, if I raise to 300$
what would be the least shittiest folding bike you'd find at either amazon or ebay?
Just to make it easier for you:

among those 3, which one is the least shitty? dahon? but won't I suffer using it everyday?
Like I had said, 6 miles + ascending on hills daily.
Also, I heard full suspension on a foldable bike is bad, is it true?
