Tidy bike, with a solid workmanlike spec. Look after it though or it will go the same way as the Apollo.
What bike should I buy?

Been aware a service is little more than (but still worthwhile) a safety check, make sure everything's ok, adjust gear cable tension, which usually needs to be done when the bikes been used a bit, maybe oil the chain if you're lucky.
What you can do on a regular basis is...
Make sure tyres are well / correctly inflated.
As Colourspinner says, wipe the chain regularly and lube (then wipe again) search the Mickle method on here, its very simple and quick.
Inspect your brake pads once in a while, remove and metal shards or grit that will cause scraping and damage on you rims.
Make sure you don't ride in the gutter, best way ever to reduce punctures if nothing else.
Enjoy the bike

For the bike? Home insurance will be cheapest. Read the policy, might already he covered depending on value, at least at home (read up on security requirements)
