I could use some pedal recommendations since I'm new to road/commuter bikes.
Then it sounds like the right bike for you (realizing that if you get into biking you will outgrow it).
For pedals, get some "clipless" pedals - any SPD shoe and pedal will work. It makes a huge difference. If you don't like the idea of being locked into your pedal, then you are probably fine with what is on the bike, or whatever the LBS recommends for an upgrade.
