So im trying to lose weight. Ive been running 2.25miles 3 nights a week. After the run I do about 20-30min. free weight training.
Well its been about 8 weeks now since ive been doing this and lost 17lbs. But I was thinking i want to start riding a bicycle before going to work every morning. But here is the delema, Im 6'7 and 276lbs. What kind of bike should I get? I want something more along the line of mountain bike type. Please help me out here. Thanks
 
If I were you, invest into a non-department store mountain bike. Your weight and height will just easily destroy a department store bike. Consider getting a full suspension [brand new retails from 3 - 7K) used ones can range from 300 - 1000 bucks. I'd go with a used :p. Gas rear shocks can handle high amounts of weight . Good luck.
 
Google bike shops for your area then look up the manufactures on the web and see what size frame sizes are available. You want some thing close to you inseam x .59 and a stand over height about 2-4 inches less then your inseam. You do not want a full suspension bike.
