Bike for a fat guy
Hello all.
I am sure this topic has been covered but I am looking for current advice. I am looking for a bike that can handle 375lbs. I am on a budget but could spend $400 or $500 including any customizing, I do realize that that's not a lot of money, but it's what I can swing. I have some knee issues that preclude a lot of walking and I used to ride casually years ago so I thought I would like to start again as a way of exercise. I am starting to eat better but need to put some exercise in the program. My riding would be mostly pavement, but some dirt and gravel trails. Does anyone have any specific brands and models that they can recommend? I would like to go with the mountain bike style as they seem more versatile for the riding that I will be doing. I like to have my legs under me and lean a bit forward at the waist as opposed to the upright cruiser bike style.
Thanks in advance.
