Jane and I recently bought hybrid bikes and are really enjoying it. When I was bigger, I was worried that the bike wouldn't hold me, plus I did not feel very balanced. Center of gravity just seemed too high. There was a bike shop in town and the owner said he could build a bike that would hold me. He said that he used the bearings, etc. from bicycles built for two to make it tougher. I never took him up on it though.
The new bikes are amazing. They have really improved in the years since I last road. I think you will like it a lot!
