You got to experiment and ride a bicyle often before you can figure out your needs has a bicycle rider...for people who are not fit go for a cruiser or a compfort bicycle even a comfort bicycle can be more demanding then a cruiser...but do not go and buy a mountain bicycle if your a heavy weight and not prepared to modify it.I'm a heavy weight but I know how to modify my bicyles to get them in the comfort zone:confused:

I am an "accessorizer". I have the nice Bell seatpost mounted cargo rack, made of black ABS, very snazzy. I have the Bell gel seat cover. I have the little bag that goes under the seat, but I have taken it off to let it dry because I had to do 8 miles in a torrential downpour on last Monday. I keep my Bianchi stripped to a lean, mean, mileage machine. I like the bare, racy, oh so fine look of a road bike. - Ted
