What kind of bike should I get?

Hello everyone, I'm very interested in buying a new bike! I was hoping I could get some input to help me make a decision, so I'll try to give as much information as I can, and if you need any information please don't hesitate to ask me!

I will be using the bike for recreational purposes, and I will be riding it on the sidewalk, as well as on asphalt and similar paths.

I want a bike that isn't fragile, but is still fast, and I can get a good workout on.

Since I'm adding as much information as possible, I'll mention my age, height, and weight, hopefully that helps!

Age: 18 (Could grow)
Weight: 130 (Will definitely increase)
Height: 6'0" (Could increase)

Today I drove to the local bike store and spoke to the owner for several hours, and I also plan on going to their other location to ride some of their bikes. She said their selection is limited at the moment, but she also mentioned she will be ordering new bikes soon, and can order me one!

Here are some of the brands and models that the owner wrote down. Hopefully I can test ride some of them, and maybe you have some options!

Cannondale
Road Warrior
Bad Boy

Haro
Maxwell
Roscoe
Sanford

Scott
Sub (26 or 700)
Sportster (P1-6)

Specialized
Sirrus
Crosstrail
Hardrock
Rockhopper
Hardtail

Thank you all for reading, or skimming! Sorry for the long read.

All help is appreciated!
