I wonder why there aren't many bikes made for people who are simply big. Not fat, but big. I am 6'5 and while I could lose a few pounds(after a nasty winter of staring at my bike then window, then bike again) but I am not fat by any means. I've come back down to my normal weight after being restricted to crutches/wheelchair due to a rugby injury/knee surgery and a lot of that is due to my recumbent(doc won't let me play rugby anymore. lame). But if I had been in my chair/on crutches for another 6 months I probably would have been up to 325'ish.

It seems to me that the bicycle industry could benefit greatly from making bikes that suit bigger(both fat and big people). The fat people might be able to become a bit healthier and the bigger people could have a bike to ride. My brother is 6'8 and can't find a DF roadie that fits for the life of him. If he were a beanstock 6'8 maybe, but he sits at 290 and he is cut(very in shape).
What to do, what to do.
