The thing about fat people and bikes....

First of all, if you're tipping the scales at 300 pounds and 250 of those pounds are located in your ginormous ass, the little dinky seat most bikes provide, will do little to contain your massive buttcheeks. Those same butt cheeks will spill over the seat, and get caught in the bike chain. I'm going to see if there's a market for bikes that have been retrofitted with LazyBoy recliners, instead of the teeny tiny standard bike seat. I felt like one of those full size clowns on the miniture bikes.

The other thing I have to remember is that when you have massive thighs and quadruple chins, that at some point in the pedaling process the two will make contact with each other.

That said, my bike ride lasted 24 minutes, which was the time it took to complete my circuit zigzagging through the neighborhood. My neighborhood is as flat as my chest was in junior high, so there was no coasting at all the whole way, which was good, because that means I had to pedal the whole 24 minutes.

If any of you other fatties out there are considering bike riding for exercise, I would suggest you get a cruiser type bike. The seat is a bit wider than mountain bikes, the wide tires make it more stable, the way the seat and handle bars sit, allows for less stress on your back and neck.

I gotta rest now. I'm due for dinner in a couple hours, whooo hooooo!!! I think I'm going to go digging around in my box and see what I can find. Still not particularly hungry, but remember, I usually wouldn't have even begun eating for the day at this hour (almost 4 pm).

I'll post pictures.
