I'm being banded in less than a week (04/28/2009) and I want to start riding a bicycle for exercise, once I'm given the OK.
I'm currently about 330 pounds. does anyone have an opinion on what brand/model bike would be good for a larger rider. It will mainly be used for in-town riding with some hills. I would also be cool if I could use it on some mild trails (rails-to-trails). I'm probably looking for a comfort or hybrid...But which one.
As for price, I'd like to stay under $300, if possible.
I know I'll for to check them out for myself, but I'd like to have some ideas as to what has worked for others in my situation.
