Re: Big Guy

Kenneth,

Go to a local bike shop and explain your concerns. But be aware that most
bicycle are designed for some theoretical 'average weight' rider. Us big
guys can expect to break stuff.

I have a friend who started out at about 330. He dieted and exercised his
weight down to about 230, but broke nearly every component on his bike while
doing so. He still replaces handlebars about once a year as they fatigue.
