I want to ride a normal bike, but concerned with what will actually support my weight. I was thinking of something like a comfort style/cruiser bike, but i don't know, the frames look pretty weak...well sorta why I'm asking Cause "I don't know" and hoping someone can help me find one.
Price range I'm willing to spend is about up to 500$
and I'd be biking on roads and paths (solid stuffs)
links and pics prices would be awesome too thanks
I'm close to your size (started riding at 395# Nov 2007...now at 371#) I Ride an old Specialized Hardrock with 90psi pavement tread tires on 26" wheels. I've banged the heck out of it and it keeps coming back for more.
I commute 3 - 4 times a week on it and its very trusty indeed.
