Bike Bicycle
I need to find a bicycle that can hold a 500lb man. What bike should I buy?

I weigh 530lbs and am completely able to get around normally and even enjoy walking around the local golf course. I want a bike so that I can get to work without riding in a car which is making me more out of shape than I already am. Work is about 4 miles away so I can't walk it easily or quickly. I just want to know if anyone knows a brand of bicycle that can hold my weight.

You have not stated your age or your height. To be cautious I'm going to go with older and shorter. How much, and what rate of exercise you can safely take on will be determined by you age and your heart rate.

First step would be to check with your doctor. They should be able to give you a good idea as to whether you should be jumping onto a bike. It could well be that a few more walks around the golf course might be on order first. (Not hard to take)

You’re a big bloke. Big Blokes are known to be big hearted. This is actually false. Your heart will be about the same size as most people. It has to work a lot harder than most. The exertion of riding the 4 miles to work could put your heart rate dangerously high. Heart damage or even attack may well be a result.

Not knowing more about your health I will only suggest that you approach getting into better shape with caution. If you do any damage to your heart getting the weight off will be even harder.

"Most of the cycles carried by Super Sized Cycles are built to hold 500 pounds." (Joan Denizot's company). You are 6% heavier than this. Given that you are travelling 4 miles this shouldn't be a problem (depending on terrain) but contact them to make sure.

This certainly seems to be your best option. Other than this I could only suggest a custom order. This would be more expensive but there should be a few manufactures that would do it for you.

P.S. The Kona hoss is not the bike for you.(yet). A good set of mountain bike style tandem wheels (48 spoke or more) should do the job for you. (If you need to go that way)

Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike: The Right Ride In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories: Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain. Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine. Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family. The Right Price A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability. Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use. Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension. High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action. The Right Size Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips: Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height. Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit. Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance. The Right Accessories When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons: Helmet (this is a must!) Seat pack Lock Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages Spare tubes Portable bike pump Gloves
