As for bikes I'd recommend a rigid (no suspension) Hybrid simply for the gearing range or a touring bike if you want to spend that much money on one.
this would have carried more force before you changed your avatarAs to your original question most definitely no
You have absolutely nothing to worry about.Hi, I'm a 53 years old man, 5.11 and weigh 16 stone, after many years in a car I'm hoping I'm nether too old or fat to be able to ride again, my main objective is to lose weigh and hopefully gain some fitness at the same time, for starters, even through I will be riding on the road, taking my 16 stone weight into account, would a mountain bike be better than a road one? sorry if that's a daft question
Thank you
Oh, and don't buy a padded or gel saddle
