It's funny how bikes are great for exercise yet have a weight restriction. I found a great Schwinn at can tire with no restriction listed. Emailed Schwinn asking what the restrictions was and after a week they replied with 250lbs. Maybe I can buy it next year?

Anyone got suggestions on a good bike that doesn't break the bank yet can handle 300+ lbs?

I bought a Kent Hybrid for 130 at Big 5 I weigh 305 and ride with the kids

A quick google search brought up this company: http://www.supersizedcycles.com/

Looks like they can carry up to 550lbs. The bikes aren't bad looking either. Good luck!

Some LBS will warranty a bike even if you exceed the weight restriction. I was about 350 when I got my trek/gary fischer. LBS never brought weight up and has covered a recent rim issue. YMMV, but shop local and find a shop who will help you and be there if there is an issue.

I bought the Haro Flightline 29 when I was 350 and it has been a great bike. I am using it 3 days a week.

Where abouts do you live? Some of the smaller stores will carry the models that have a higher weight limit.
