While walking "The Sk-Whirl" (my Shep/Lab Mix...also known as the best dog in the WORLD!!
) at the park today I noticed a woman riding around the entire park loop (walking trail) while standing and pedaling. Never sitting down and never coasting.
Has anyone tried this?
This looked like a novel idea and something I would like to try as a alt. form of exercise.
Here is the catch.......
This well toned lady might have tipped the scales at 120lbs, not much of a strain on ye olde cranks.
I, on the other hand, position the needle at a waifish and demure 260lbs.
Not wanting to explain what happened 3-4 times in an emergency room and then 15-20 times to friends, family and fellow workers when the pedal snaps off I found this on a GOOGLE search:

Would this be a good choice for this endeavor??
It resembles a beefed up version of what she was pumping on.
Just a thought.
