The most important things are to make sure that the handlebars are higher than the seat so you're not hunched over them, and that there's at least at least a couple of inches between the top tube and your crotch when you're standing on the ground, straddling the bike.
No matter what your experience as a cyclist choosing the right bicycle is a very important task, which many people find difficult. Bicycles are made with different purposes and with a range of different features, with this in mind the task of buying a new cycle can often be daunting.
