Gidday,

I'm looking for an inexpensive bicycle that will cope with 95kg rider.

Will be cycling for up to an hour two times a week mostly on bitumen (cross training from my running).

Should I get a racer, mountain bike, hybrid etc etc? What is better for comfort?

Also, does any company make bigger bikes as the men's bikes at Target etc are not tall enough for me.

Appreciate any advice.

Don't go for anything from Target! A Giant OCR should do you fine, cheap very popular and great value for money. Go to any bike store and they will know what your after!

I agree with Freaky, go to your local bike shop they will have a lot more knowledge than the staff at Target!

A bike shop should not only be able to sell you a bike but will adjust it to suit you and provide service etc.
