Hi there, I'd appreciate your help. I live in Woking in Surrey and there is a beautiful trail by the Basingstoke canal. I'm getting interested in cycling and I want to start. I'm quite tall and overweight as well. I don't think I'd ever go mountains for cycling, but I might go on a bit more rough surfaces during my cycling in different trails. Considering me being overweight , should I get a mountain bike just to make sure that the bicycle will hold flawlessly, or I can go with hybrid anyway? Specially about the wheels, are hybrid wheels as strong as mountain ones?
