I weigh 216 pounds at 16 year olds. I wanna ride those road bikes like the GMC Denali. It looks like it cannot support my weight. Can I?
What is this [url=http://www.google.com/images?client=opera&rls=en&q=gmc+denali&oe=utf-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=es&tab=wi&start=0&uss=1]GMC Denali[/url] you speak of?

Uhm..
Try it. If it hurts, then stop. If not, then you're off to a good start.
Why would you let yourself go? ffff automerge
Why are you 216 pounds at 16 years

[QUOTE=Phoenix Wright;25712882][url]http://www.amazon.com/GMC-Denali-Road-Bike/dp/B000FDDWB6[/url][/QUOTE] Of course you can! Just make sure you purchase a bike tire inflator with it, so you can bludgeon to death all the pedestrians who laugh at you
Optimistic guy is striking again. :(
youll probably snap it in half, dont try
Yes [editline]57374[/editline] DAMNIT OPTIMISTIC GUY Gaybows make me cry
Yes, you should be fine.
[QUOTE=Sonicfan574;25712937]Because this is America[/QUOTE] I don't know any teenagers that fat and I live in the south (no offense op) Seriously though, it strikes me as odd that a person who has let themself go to such a point, suddenly wants to do something that requires exercise.
On the plus side, if you get hit by a car you can rest assured it will be totaled off.
So many gaybows :D

Rainbows make me cry. also op i dont think you can ride that. [editline]29th October 2010[/editline] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/BossHoss.jpg/300px-BossHoss.jpg[/img] thats one badass bike
216 isn't that fat, as long as you're a decent height. And by decent height I mean something ungainly like 6' 3" or something. Either way, it's overweight, but it's not fat.
Buy a gym instead of the bike.
Pics of how fat you are
Maybe, maybe not. But you'll probably look ridiculous if it looks like you shouldn't.
Yes. But seriously, don't buy that bike. It's walmart quality, you're better off with a used model from craigslist - I got a 1989 Cannondale for 200 bucks off craigslist and it only weighs 20 lbs, which is amazing for a twenty year old bike. Plus, I can keep up and even pass people on brand new bikes that cost twice as much as mine. In short, an actual road bike from a reputable manufacturer will be easier to service, have better quality build and parts, and will make you more satisfied in the long run.

The price on the bike ranges around that said amount of weight, so I think so. [QUOTE=Lemonator;25714087]Pics of how fat you are[/QUOTE] This would help us decide more accurately though.
Film the test drive.
fat people are not allowed to ride bikes sorry
