My budget would be $600-$1000 and I'd mostly be riding in the city where it's relatively flat but I'm also surrounded by mountains.

Go to several shops and look at the options for road use. Your budget should allow for a really nice bike your weight should not stop you from any type of bike.

Somthing else to consider when budgeting if you are new to the bikeing thing you will need some equipment. Clothing, helmet, gloves, etc lighting basic repair tools like tire change tools and spare tubes a good pump is important.
