I want to begin riding a bike around everywhere as an exercise. maybe 1 hr a day. i weight 270 and want to make sure I get a bike that supports me well. maybe take it up hiking hills on the weekends as well. so I need a GOOD but AFORDABLE bike, maybe cute? but thats the least of my worries. I was looking at this one
http://www.walmart.com/ip/26-L-Karaoke-cruiser-comfort-bike-model-26730-white/12509652#ProductDetail
but it doesnt show weight limit. any opinions?
Thank you
also, what other gear besides helmets are necessary to wear (like its illegal if you dont wear it) I haven't been bicycling since I was a kid so I dont know anything! Fill me in! lol all I heard is that it's good exrcise. I loved riding bikes when I was a kid!
Answer
That bike won't be much fun to ride on any kind of a hill. It is a heavy, single speed cruiser, suitable for leisurely rides on flat roads. If you are planning to ride your bike for exercise this may not be the best choice. Bikes in this price range are not going to be good quality. On the plus side, the bike should have no trouble supporting your weight, and the simple drive system should not be too trouble prone. The bike is simple enough that assembly will not be too bad, often a big problem with bikes sold in Walmart. Odds are this bike won't last you very long before things start to wear out. At this low a price a lot of corners have to be cut to produce a bike.

Question about exercise bike?
Miranda
I'm trying to lose 10 lbs of fat in 1-2 months.
I heard the exercise bike can help but does it actually burn fat WITHOUT creating muscle? I don't want muscular thighs. I'm trying to look lean. If the bike does cause your thighs to get muscular and bulky, what exercise can I do for lean thighs?
Answer
It's hard to target weight loss; you can target muscle building, but the fat comes off from wherever it feels like.
So, go ahead and bike -you'll look (and be) toned, not fatty, which is good. It's highly unlikely you'll get enough muscle to be bulky.
But if you're really worried about it, just vary your workout routine a bit; try doing stretch and isomorphic workouts sometimes, or lift weights (again, if you're a woman [which I assume you are because you don't want muscle] it's actually really really hard to gain enough muscle to be bulky), or try a different full-body workout like swimming.
