You can definitely ride a bicycle - not too long ago, there was a man cycling down our street who could easily have afforded to lose about 80+ pounds - he didn't seem to be having any troubles...other than maybe the spandex track suit that was riding up his bum.

Of course, and it's excellent exercise. Where I live, in Japan, I often see even older ladies (like 70 year olds!) riding bikes, looking very stylish too. Pity people in the West don't do that. It's good for the environment and for your health.

Abosultely and trust me, there is plenty of benefits to cycling!! Not only are you getting loads of excercise it's also a way of escaping for a while to clear your mind. There is nothing quite like a long bike ride next to a river, perhaps through the forest or even down to the beach!!!! You shoud definately try it!!!

yes they can ride bicycles. but the fact still remains that they will find it a little difficult depending on if they do exercise regulaly
but in your own case it think you will but less difficulties

yes biking is an art of balancing yourself so definitely overweight people can use bicycles, as long as they can balance their weight into running the bike....what im worried is about their endurance....i heard that they easily get tired or they usually run out breath

Yes, they do, and bicycling is great exercise to lose that extra weight.

of course, but it depends on how overweight that person is. if they can barely walk, they are not peddeling.
