Heavy Weight
I just wanted some recommendations as to what bike I should get now that I want to start riding again mainly to help me lose weight . I currently weigh 290lbs and I am not sure if there is anything out there that can actaully hold me up for extended periods of time. Posted To Group: Cycling Tech Group Tags: Big and Tall |

Of course there is!! Your main concern should be your wheels…Typical spoked wheels have 32 spokes per. You may need a wheel with 36 or more spokes. Go to a reputable bike shop and get fitted with a bike they would recommend for your size, type of riding, etc…You will want to find a shop and a salesperson that knows what they\’re talking about..
Your final selection will depend on how much you want to spend.
Good luck and it\’s great that you\’ve selected cycling to manage your weight…if you apply yourself, you will be successful..check out the news letter and website by Gabe Mirkin, MD….
