MTB, Road, or Hybrid?
It's been 15 years since I rode a bike. I'm 5'8", 350 lbs., down from 400 lbs.
I'll be riding predominantly on smooth pavement, with some bumps here and there, and occasionally on flat dirt trails.
My concerns are...
1. Frame failing at the head tube
2. Front wheel coming off open fork dropouts
3. Cracking the seatpost
And anything that would cause me to hit the pavement that I'm not aware of!
Just wondering if it's safer to lose another 50 pounds and wait till next summer to ride (I live in the Northeast).
My budget is $600.
Thanks!
