Hey Everyone,

My girlfriend and I have decided it is finally time to lose weight and get healthier. Biking is something I really enjoyed when I was younger but I haven't been on a bike for close to 15 years. I have been searching the internet for days trying to figure out if I can find a bike that will work for me. Most of the advice I can find suggest going to a LBS, but due to COVID, that isn't a viable option as most stores in my area are only doing contact-less service. I am 6'1" and around 425lbs. I know a lot of bike manufactures only rate their bike for up to 300lbs, but from what I read that seems to be a fairly conservative limit for most bikes. Then only bikes that I can really find that have a higher weight limit are the Zeze bikes, but those are way too expensive for me. I am really hoping to stay under $800. I have seen the Trek FX mentioned a few times on other posts, but those posts are usually around 3-5 years old now. I was looking into something like the Trek FX 2 Disc (trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/hybrid-bikes/fitness-bikes/fx/fx-2-disc/p/27991/?colorCode=black). I am worried being more than 400lbs over the stated weight limit though. Would this bike be OK, or should I be looking for something else?

Thanks!
