However, today I had my third ride and discovered the gears won't change on the front derailleur. Wow. This video may explain what is the problem as the symptoms are the same as my bike. Back to the bike shop tomorrow.

Are you sure it's not just an incorrectly adjusted shifter cable?
I had to hose down my 'old' bike yesterday, so I could loan it to my 21yo son and take him for a ride. It's been sitting idle for about 3 years. My son bragged to me that he does 15-20 k's on the bike in the gym, and since I have to get back into riding for a 100km charity event, I took him for a ride.
After 23 km he finally worked out that you have to push a bit harder on the Ultegra shifters to make them do something.
We only went 25km, so I was having a good laugh at him, though he enjoyed the ride.
