I'm looking to buy a bike for casual off-road riding (dirt roads, distance riding) to improve physical fitness. I wont be trail riding or doing any stunts. I'm looking for a large frame, sturdy bike as I'm a large frame guy (6'2" 300lbs). What are some decent suggestions in my price range of $3-400? I'm new to all this and haven't had a bike since I was much younger (and lighter!). Thanks in advance.

Buy used. Any new bike in the $300-$400 range will not even stand up to casual riding for a guy your size.

A tank of a bike is what you need. 30 plus pounds, good welds,2.00 plus tires,ect.maybe a Surley.
