People rides bikes all over the place where I live but for some reason I just get so nervous! I am hoping as I ride more I'll get used to it. :eek:

What bike do you have? I am starting to get an itch to ride outside and have been, how do I say, Test riding some bikes to make sure they can handle my rotundness I noticed I am only about 50 pounds more than you are, summer is coming and I think its time.

My only fear is that I look like an apple on a stick from behind to passers by! big round guy on a small bike :D

As Ever

I have the Trek Cruiseliner. I love this bike it would totally hold you it has a lifetime warranty on the frame so even if it did break you'd get a new one.

It's really heavy duty though and very well made so I doubt it would break. I like the internal 3 gears for hills I don't need all that complicated gears and shifters on a bike I just want a plain bike. It sorta looks like a cross between a beach cruiser and a newpaper boy's bike very retro looking. The best thing though is the WIDE tractor seat it comes with it is VERY comfortable if you know what I mean.

I had a mountain bike but the seat on that thing was PURE torture for me! LOL!

Here's the link to my bike!

And who freakin cares what anybody thinks you look like on a bike it is fun to ride and you are doing it for you! LOL! Besides the more you ride and lose the smaller you will be anyways! :carrot:

That is a beautiful bike Flatiron. Here is a loink to the bike I want to buy.

Nice looking bike! It's gotta wide seat like mine! LOL! Gotta love that!

What are you waiting for?? It is bike riding season right now! LOL!

I've got an attachable basket that goes on the front of mine and I went to the grocery store and picked up some things and carried back on my bike! It was a first for me!

Well, I figured since I've got such a wide seat....haha.

I am still saving for it. I am on disability and do not get a lot of money. I put a small amount aside every month in a savings account for the bike. I might have enough to purchase it for next summer.

Isn't that fun? :) That is my plan too as well as riding around the neighbourhood....hopefully with my grandson on his bike.
