Welcome!
As a super-sized person who decided to get exercising again, I wanted a nice, sturdy bike that I felt comfortable on and that I knew could easily support my weight. Imagine my frustration when, no matter what I typed in the search engines or to whom I talked or emailed, I could not find even one bike that was built for me.
The people who really understand bikes told me that, in fact, it was very risky to ride a bike that was not built strong enough for my weight. Even bikes that were built for big riders only went up to only 225 pounds.
The more I searched for my own bicycle, the more convinced I became that there is no way that I am the only fat person looking for a solid bicycle or adult tricycle. Biking is a great exercise--and it's EASY! Of course big people would cycle if they could buy a bike that's built for them, without having to be sized up by some mega-fit sales clerks who sell equipment made for skinny people.
This search for a bike for me--call me large, fat, super-sized, obese, plus-sized, huge, queen size, whatever!--is what made me decide that not only would I find a great bike for myself, I'd create a store where anyone, no matter how heavy, could come and find a welcoming, size-friendly environment. I also decided that not having a positive word to describe a person of size was ridiculous, so I invented "Zize, size with Attitude!" I'm glad you've found Super Sized Cycles, also known as Zize Bikes, and please let me know how we can help you.
Best regards,
Joan
