Hi! I need help picking a ladies bike

Hello!

I'm trying to figure out what bike to get. First off I want a big, comfy ladies bike.

I just want to ride around for the exercise on the street and will not ever ride trails or stuff like that.
I want a big, big, big, comfy, cushy seat especially!

I have an old 26" 'mountain bike' that a neighbor gave me but I don't like it. It's too small because my legs are always bent a lot even at the bottom of pedaling. I have long legs I guess. All I get is cramped legs and I am afraid of getting "man legs" on the thing. I haven't ridden it in a few years because it's just too uncomfortable and quirky.

So I need a larger bike but I don't know where to look. ALL ladies bikes are either 26" or some thing that I have never heard of, "700c". What the heck is that?

Is 700c bigger? I'm guessing that's some metric stuff. I guess I'm behind the times, a lot.

I'm on a budget so I can't afford to buy some $400 bike from some fancy bike store. I'm pretty much limited to Walmart. This is Hickville and options are very limited. I suppose I could drive to Houston but I wouldn't have a clue there. I would guess the options there are either Walmart or an expensive bike store.

I was looking online at the walmart site but it was pretty much not helpful.

There was like one ladies bike there that said it's a 700c but you can't even select what color to order!

I may be wrong but I'm assuming that bigger wheels means more leg room on the pedals???
Please someone what do I do?

Thank you!
