Hello all!
Need some help. I've decided to start riding, since I've moved to a place next to the beach that has good infrastructures, and allows bicycle practice.
Since I haven't riden in a bit, I'm lacking on equipment info.
I'm a heavy guy: height 5,90 - weight 286 pounds
I was thinking of getting a mountain bicycle with rear spring suspension, but don’t know if it's the ideal choice bearing in mind my weight??
Possible solutions I taught of:
- Change the spring for one more adapted to my weight?
- Change the spring for a compressed air suspension?
- Just by a bicycle with no rear suspension?
Please also bear in mind that I’ll be cicling 1 and ½ hours a day, so I’d like a comfortable ride.
Should I also pay attention to tires? I’ll always be riding on asphalt, but was thinking of getting fat tires to absorb the weight?
So basically what I’m thinking of getting is a bicycle with:
- front suspension
- rear spring suspension
- 26 inch wheels with fat tires
Hope you guys can help me out!! 😕
I'm going to use biking and gym to loose weight. 🙂
Thanks in advance.
Luke
