Any bike experts?

Personally, I would go with the cruiser. It's a much more comfortable ride and you don't have to mess with gears which can be a pain in the arse. I have a single speed bike myself which I bought for exercise but for long rides it is uncomfortable because of the posture I have to maintain and the hard seat (although I could switch out the seat). And I don't think your height and having long legs will make a difference. Geez I'm 5'7 with short athletic muscular legs and I don't need to ride a tricycle or Big Wheels.
