Bike Bicycle Safety
What cruiser bicycle should I buy?
My cousin's car is broke, and is too expensive to repair. He says he wants to commute by bicycle, mainly because his wife has been pestering him to lose wait, and she wouldnt allow a scooter.He said he doesnt want to spend that much on a good bike, and he would only buy a Huffy Cranbrook. I care about his safety, so I said I would buy a good bike. He is heavy (300 lbs) so I thought I could take him to our shop and buy a bicycle for his very flat (We live in Toledo) and short (5 mile) commute. I have $300 bugeted for a NEW bike, what models to consider?
A Huffy? Just about the lowest of the low. Sorry. 
And on top of that a one speed cruiser. Once again, sorry...bad choice.
Get to a real bike shop & check out something with gears - lots of gears. Even the slightest incline on a cruiser for a 300 lb. man will be a severe strain. And that 300 lbs. does come into play. You want & need a bike that can withstand the weight.
Consult your local bike shop - not some "associate" at a discount store.
