Hello. I havem't ridden a bike in years but need to lose weight. The reviews at Walmrt aren't very good for this bike but its $113 with free shipping and thats about all I want to spend. I have a bad knee so I do'nt know if its something I'll keep doing. I'm also around 300 pounds and want to know if I will be okay on this bike. Thankyou!

First impression is that the steel frame & wheels on that bike will handle your weight. I need to do some reading before I can say more.

For a number of reasons, I don't recommend the Roadmaster 29er for you specifically. I do offer an even less expensive alternative - HuffyFortress™ Men's Mountain Bike with 3.0 Plus Tires - Huffy link at Walmart It has oversized tires & rims which will handle your weight better, and smooth the bumps. It also has a 1 1/8" threadless stem. If you find you'd like to have the handlebars higher, you can always buy a stem riser. The cables will allow an extra few inches in height. If you're not insistent on a mountain style frame, & don't have too many hills to deal with, I can offer some cruiser alternatives that might be more comfortable for you.

No I'm not sure. It just what everyone is riding around here.

Or may be going by another name for past crimes of ineffective sales jargon.

Admin Czar: Back again! Just in time for 118' at the house:) At least the monsoon came back too so that gives some relief. And much needed rain. Jul 12, 2024 20:31:23 GMT -7

Admin Czar: Ugh.

A bit warm. yes. Had to do another 2100 mile round trip on short notice. My back was/is in a real bad way & came home to a dead AC unit. Other than that its been just peachy! Jun 22, 2024 8:50:53 GMT -7

Admin Czar: Got my bike shop back. One chick died & the other started flying over the weekend. They laid two more eggs but a cactus wren had them for dinner Monday. So got rid of the nest & cleaned up the shop yesterday. Work may now continue! Jun 5, 2024 3:18:37 GMT -7

Admin Czar: Now we have two little chicks. Put a security cam close by and see that both parents feed the younglings, May 26, 2024 18:35:03 GMT -7

Admin Czar: Currently working on getting the bird to trust me. I've gone in the shop a few times a day & stay about 10 ft away from her. I'm jonesing to get back to work plus my new arc welder is only a foot away from the nest. May 23, 2024 0:30:58 GMT -7

Admin Czar: yes but was gone for 3 weeks & came home to a dove nest with eggs in my bike shop. It's right on top of my tool box too. Dumb birds but it's the safest spot on the property. Totally fenced in & covered. Mama is smarter than most

desertbikes: Guess we didn't pay our weather bill. Forecast changed again to another 3 days of rainy cold foggy days

desertbikes: Rain, fog, cold, rain, drizzle, rain wind.... I know I should be happy about this weather considering triple digits are only a couple months away, but....

It's interfering with my bike & shooting time Jan 22, 2024 17:53:40 GMT -7

Admin Czar: A 6 cylinder 1964 Ford Econoline here. That was about as good as it got for room. The inevitable exhaust manifold leak might explain some of the brain damage. But in winter it was easy to pop the "hood" for manual carb choke

Admin Czar: Member the Ford & chevy vans in the 60s & 70s. You popped the hood between the front seats
