Wanted- A Bicycle

Does anyone know where I can get a bicycle that will be good for a large person.  My current weight is around 250 pounds and want one that will support me and be good for exercise.  Anyone have a used one for sale?  Thanks, Janice

 living XL has some that will hold up to 500lbs  hope this helps   http://www.livingxl.com/store/en_US/catalog/browse_sku.jsp;j sessionid=0FLB4V3VVP133LAZAGSCFEVMDEA0GJVC?clear=true&catID= cat40218&prodId=X1573&id=cat40218

At 250 pounds, I would think that most bikes sold at retailers like Wal-mart, Target, etc would work for you.  However, I would suggest contacting, in person or email, and independent local bicycle shop and talking to an expert (as opposed to a retail associate who happens to be working in the sports departement that day).  They should be more than happy to help you determine the proper fit, model, etc - that's part of good customer service! 

If you needed a weight capacity of up to 500 pounds, my suggestion would be to visit www.livingxl.com as their latest catalog actually features bicycles on the cover.  They've got lots of quality outdoor/fitness gear for large folks.  Their stuff is pricey, but it's good quality.  Of course, all of it can be used once you lose more weight, too - it's just that the sleeping bags would be roomier, camp chairs sturdier, etc.  If you swim, they've got some great looking suits in the clearance section that were originally $100.00 now for $14.95!  My motto is buy quality - but on sale, or better yet, clearance!
