Bike for Big and Tall ?
I'm looking for a sturdy bike that will support my 6' 2" 340lb frame comfortably? I currently have a late 90's Specialized Hard Rock that is sturdy but just not comfortable for me. I have the seat adjusted up where just my toes touch the ground but the crank set carrier is up high (mountain bike - for ground clearance ?) so when I pedal my knees are forced outward, causing sore knees after just a few miles. The bike has a 21" frame, do I need a taller (larger) frame bike or a bike with the pedals closer to the ground so that my knees don't go outward?
I use the bike for leisurely rides around my neighborhood and on local paved bike trails. Any suggestions ?
