Hi there
I've checked out a few of the seemingly relevant threads on here before signing up, but either the advice appeared slightly conflicting or the posts were a few years out of date.
I'm trying to lose weight. I've lost over 2st through walking but have now hit the inevitable plateau.
As I live by the sea I thought it would be good to get a bike. I looked at Halfords - after the local cycle shop appeared to think I was a tyre kicker - and was told my best bet was the Carrera Crossfire 3 L.
Today I received an email saying they were back in stock but before ordering I thought I would return to the shop to check.
They said the maximum weight was 18st, while checking again via the website I was told it was 10st. !!!
I'm 6' 3" and weigh 24 stone 7lbs / 160 kg - though it's (very) slowly coming down - any advice on a decent bike would be most welcome.
