Hello All,
My name is Matt and I am from s. Florida. I have always enjoyed mountain biking when I was younger, and I used to ride for hours upon hours per day. I am now 22 years old and I am wayy over weight. After graduation in 2003, my weight balooned because I was not training or working out everyday for football anymore. Needless to say ,I am here now because cycling was always a love of mine and I have done a bunch of spin classes lately and I would like to buy a road bike, to be able to do more cardio and enjoy doing it. My question is this. I am just over 300 pounds (down from 350) and I need to know of a good bike to look into? Am I too big for a road bike? I have been looking at TREKs. My budget is pretty much $1500. I look forward to any advice I can get.
Thank you,
-Matthew
