Any of you out there > have any bike suggestions for my weight? I was biking at 260 - using a pretty standard, off road type mountain bike. They seemed sturdier to me, bigger tires! And about half of my biking was on dirt or gravel roads. The only problem I encountered was those horrible sore tailbones from sitting on the seat - so I'd recommend either getting a modified " tractor " type seat, or a gel pad cover for a standard seat. The gel pad really helped my poor butt. One thought though from my experience - I injured a small muscle in my knee during a workout, and figured I could switch from the elliptical trainer to the bike to take it easy. The bike was much harder on my knee! But that could definitely just be me! Have fun either way. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
