The only problem was when I pulled up on the handlebars to help put more force on the pedal, the entire bike's so light I just bunny hopped.

Oooh... don't do that. The technique is to bend your elbows so your chest is moved closer to the stem. That shifts your CG forward, over the front wheel; stand up on the pedals as and when needed.

Boardman is Halford's umparket brand (dunno how much they paid him to use his name). Serious roadies get sniffy about them, but they seem to be good value for money.
