Also, do you have a price range in mind? And, how hilly, or how flat is the area that you might be riding in?
I am (for now) hovering around 300 lbs. I say hovering because for the past year I've ranged from about 295-310. It varies depending on my diet and activity level. Go figure.
Two years ago I weighed about 325, so I like to think I'm heading in the right direction.
London, Ontario is not flat; I would describe the terrain as "rolling". There are a few steep hills to be found, but they are relatively short. So far my cycling ability and fitness has improved to the point where I no longer have to dismount and push my bike up said hills. They still, however, leave me breathless.
My price range is upward of $2500 CAD.
