I currently own a folding bike for riding from work and back each day but I'm finding that it's not suitable for my weight. My height is 190cm (6'3") and my weight is 115kg (250lbs), so for my height I'm somewhat overweight.

It's mostly between a mountain bike or a freestyle bike at this time though I'm hesitant to get a mountain bike because I would mostly be using it for roads (and a road bike wouldn't be appropriate because I'd like the freedom a mountain bike offers). A freestyle bike would be more fun for me, I live in a very flat city but with lots of places to fall on my face and remember my younger years of borrowing friends' bikes.

But if a freestyle bike is going to shatter beneath me the first time I go over a bump it's going to be a waste of money.

Do they make freestyle bikes that are suitable for my height/weight? If so, what specs should I be looking for? Any information would be most appreciated.
