Don't throw rocks at me please for this. I am a guy with a height of 200cm and in a need of a new bicycle. My ideal vehicle idea throws me back to my childhood where i rode an old soviet era bicycle which was designed to ride through the city while sitting straight. As far as my research goes it is called a "cruiser?". Are there any models like this designed for a bigger height in mind, because i couldn't find any. Maybe they are considered strictly as bikes for women? I ride somewhere around 10km per day, and mostly on asphalt bike lines.
Thanks in advance to anyone who could push me in needed direction!

Dutch-style bikes like this are great for tallies
I wouldn’t search for “cruiser,” but rather Dutch, City, or Town bike. You’ll find ones with step-through or more traditional frames with a top tube.
Carful with a step through bike- I looked into them too and my understanding is that they have much lower weight limit (not trying to imply you’re heavy or anything, but as tall people we tend to have a higher base weight due to the extra height).
A bit pricey, but very practical and will last a long time:
