I would like an upright, or close to it ride, that will support my weight/height. I live in SWFL so everything is flat and beaches with shared use paths everywhere. I'm thinking a hybrid/cruiser is the best for recreational use. Do you have any other suggestions?
OK, you didn't say you are 6'7". That is taller than 99.8% of the population The problem is, because of your height, a lot of stock bikes are way too small for you including possibly the Roll. This results in a hunched over position. You need to look at very large frames at your height. IDK if the Roll in XL will cut it.
