I'm 6'2" and 250 lbs. The doctor says I need to lose weight but walking hurts my 60 year-old joints. I haven't ridden a bike in years... Opinions...?

this bike is fine for your purpose, seat adjust enough for my six foot frame so it should make it for your 6'2"

Yes, I believe this bike would be good for your size. The seat is adjustable, it's a study bike. You will need to pump up tires when you put it together. This was purchased for a 6' guy around 200 lbs. It's a good looking bike and would serve your needs - per Dr's orders! Enjoy

My husband is 5'11" and slightly over 200 lbs. He rides it without any problem. The specifications from what I remember said that maximum weight should be 200 lbs. Therefore, I am not sure if it will be OK for you. We do own a regular Schwinn Cruiser without gears which in my opinion is more gentle on my knees. Best wishes!

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up.

Hi Bat Babe, You've probably already purchased a bike, and if you have, I hope it was the Schwinn 220. I bought one last August for a 74-year-old Auntie who had just had a knee replacement. It's now almost a year later, she's running around like she's 16, and she swears it's because of her 220. She rides it every day. Oh, almost forgot, she's 4' 9". She has to adjust the seat all the way forward and use a pillow, but says her 220 is still wonderfully comfortable and works perfectly. Good luck! Grant Ritchie

Yes. I am 6ft 200 lbs and its a perfect fit. It's harder to find a bike that fits you at 6ft or taller. You need to focus on how high the seat goes to get a straight leg stroke, and the distance of the seat to the handlebars to fit the length of longer arms. If its too tight, you feel crowded/uncomfortable. This bike also has some fit adjustments too.

I live in Michigan and due to our excessive snow this year my dad has only used the bicycle once. We have a long drive with new cement. The section with a moderate hill is about 100 feet. Dad is 87 years old with good strength but bad balance. he had no trouble going up the hill. He did have some trouble coordinating use of the hand brake on the return, so I was holding the bike by the seat for assistance. I am sure he will get it with a few more days of practice. We were using the easiest gear and he was moving uphill at the pace of my fast-walk.

I'm 6'3, 200 lbs. and love the bike. I have the seat and handlebars at the highest settings and can get get full extension. It would probably be close for you.

The walker I purchased has been used for many months by a 5'-2" woman with no wobble problem. I also made a "wobble" comment, warning that an unusually tall and heavy person could have stability issues.

I have never lost weight on a bike. Never, ever, ever. Watch, I think, the NOVA program on preparing for the Boston Marathon. NONE of the people lost weight. There are other benefits. I tried doing this in front of the TV - apparently we are suppose to be moving every 20 mintues (from the book, Every Twenty Minutes) and that will supposedly get me to better health. But.... Hey, if you are in SF, I'd sell you mine for 75 bucks.

Yes, I believe that that is a good idea. I weigh 250 pounds, and it would be good information for me to have when buying a bike.

Yes. I'm 6'2" & 285 lbs. I ride primarily on streets, occasionally jump curbs, a few kind trails, and this bike is great. Have to charge it with some frequency, but have not been disappointed with the purchase. Wish I could give you specific mileage between charges, but have never measured. I'm guessing 15-20 miles. This does not relate to your question, but you might prefer rear wheel drive as it is more natural when you are off road.

i am also concidering buying this bike.but i am a bit hevier then you i'm 6 ft tall and about 400lbs. i also want to get back into biking and excercise but i need to find one that will support my weight.

I would be hesitant to answer a question as to whether this walker would be appropriate for an 80 lb 4'10" frail woman, as I am not a nurse or doctor. It would depend..not because I don't think it's a strong and good quality walker, but because I don't know the person using it. Is she able to use the brakes? Does she lean forward when she walks? Etc. etc. For many frail people, healthcare providers suggest a regular walker..with wheels in the front but not in the back..because they feel it provides more stability. With wheeled walkers, if someone is not strong enough or aware enough, a wheeled walker can propel them forward and have them lose their balance. I would talk to her doctor before you purchase.

If you pedal a slow to medium pace then the bike is sturdy. I tried to pedal at a high speed to burn calories faster and the bike srarted to slide, and it almost tipped over. I have a tile floor. I would prefer a heavier bike. Also the handle bars are so far away from the seat its hard to hold on while u pedal. Im 5'5 maybe if you're taller than me it will be easier.

Your weight is good ..max..250..being 6.5 is questionable. .I'm 6.0 and use the 3 rd hole on seat pole...I think it may go to 5 holes..to be safe..u would be boarder line..the bike is nice if u can get it safely to u...un damaged..ha.
