I use a Trangia alcohol stove, both for hiking and bicycle touring.
Advantages: very stable, very durable, works very well with a lot of wind, fuel is easy to find in super markets and it's easy to see how much fuel you have left, can be modified to work with gas if you want to
Disadvantages: lighter weight options are certainly available (a Trangia 27-1 weighs 690g including the windscreen and burner and 2 pots, a pan, a handle and a belt)
