It's not as simple as that, it's a personal thing. There is no gearing that is suitable - some people ride very high gears like 48/14, which I would find incredibly uncomfortable, for example. However, a good ratio to start with would be 48/18. You might want to go higher (buy a smaller sprocket, say 17), or lower (19).
