greetings, I am a 35 year old male who purchased a bike to ride short distance ( 1.5 to 2 miles ) to dinner around my neighborhood. Sadly I was struck ( not sadly probably saved my life ) with gout which has caused a drastic change in my lifestyle. This happened 2 months ago and when I got home from doctors in the morning I stepped on the scale and was shocked I weighted 304.6lbs. I knew at 5'10 I had to change my life or die. well two months later I am now riding ( my suede cruiser which is very uncomfortable in any medium distance ) further and further last week I reached 100 miles riding, this week ( counting today ) 140 miles. I have also lost in my two months of bike riding and new diet 30lbs ( and many more to go ). I came to this forum because I think it is time to look at a bike that will be comfortable in further distance. I am looking forward to learning alot here. thanks
