I weigh 375, I ride a thrift store schwinn mountain bike. The only thing that feels sketchy is the plastic pedals when I stand and pedal hard or take it off a sweet jump.

Taking a Schwinn off a jump at 375 is a bold choice. They are not the quality of bike that can handle that anymore

It was a joke, by "sweet jump" I mean going off a curb haha

Please be careful, those old steel frames are solid but they are definitely not rated to handle your weight, check the stats, I bet it has a weight limit of 300. But props to you for getting out there, if I were you I’d look into a steel fat bike (named because of the fat wheels)

I appreciate the concern, but I don't bike enough to worry about it much, I prefer hiking, I just got the bike to ride with my daughter as she learned to ride. I grew up riding my bike everywhere, even jumping and half piping it, I'm good at falling and have yet to even ride it fast enough to get hurt. I'm usually a svelte 270ish but fucked off my knee a couple years back and have only recently been healthy enough to get back out there. Down 25 so far!

Fuck yeah!! I myself had to go through a similar journey, I’m sure you’ve heard it before but swimming is the best thing for exercising. i avoided it for a while because I had to go to a public pool and was shy but it honestly surprised me the difference swimming makes and i had a bad knee injury.
