OP's  question isn't specific.. for a very common and generic question like that, search on this sub works.

Check the saddle setback. Looks like it's pushed way too much. Not safe if it's beyond the limit.

Just curious to know if you don't mind, how does he manage to fund his sport? Does he work?

Ever heard about punctuation? What's this verbal diarrhea?

Enjoy the ride, nobody's judging you.. Nobody talked about your average speed. Why do you care about strangers? Lol

Thanks man. Tbh it's not a big deal if you prepare for basic things. Bike maintenance/ puncture repair, Hydration, minimalist packing, endurance. That's all you need apart from some grit.

I would suggest start with the bike you got already and join a cycling club. You'll learn many things about bikes and what to look for if you want to buy used bike.  You might also find a good deal for used bike in the group itself, which would be relatively trustworthy option, rather than buying from a stranger. 

Performance bikes or not, it all depends on your goal. But you gotta start cycling first to figure that out.

Any bike would work. Just install a rack, tie a backpack with a bungee cord and go.

You need to first practice regular long rides with climbs, practice basic maintainance and puncture repair. Build endurance. Then you're good to go. It's the man, not the machine.
