I used to be an avid MTB rider and I used to be in great shape. Then life kind of got the better of me at least for the last 12-15 years. Now after looking at several avenues of how to get back into shape I'm returning to an old friend. The trails! The problem is that after being gone from riding for so long I need help... I'm considerably larger now than I was 15 years ago! I was about 220 then about 290 now I have dropped 40 lbs this year but I know the only way to get back into shape is to move. I want a bike that is going to last me until I can get the weight off don't want to spend a lot on "THIS" bike. I need to stay as low as possible. Thanks

Hi, Poppahog!
We have the same problem, weight-wise. Congratulations on your decision to get healthy, and on your weight loss! I've lost 30 pounds in the past 3 months through biking and healthy eating -- but I think the biking has helped more than anything!
If you read my thread titled Really Embarrassing Question, I got some answers about bikes for heavy people that might be of help to you.
Good luck with your journey!
