Would the Schwinn Solution be a good bike for me?

These are great bikes. The second one will be more relaxed. http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/4ht_new_xi.htm http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/cafe_express8.htm

If you end up getting that, I'd replace the seat. However, if you could find a good Giant bike shop, you might could get a much nicer bike for another hundred bucks. I ride on a Trek and I love it. It never breaks, and it's a hybrid bike with road bike crankset/tires. I'm not that fit either. My friend has a Giant, and he loves it. It doesn't seem to be much less in quality but you can generally get them for 300 bucks or less in store around where I live. All in all, the schwinn solution doesn't look like a bad bike, but you need to talk to people who have/have had it. It has a front end suspension, disc brakes, short, crappy looking kickstand. Price says 380 on the website provided, but I guess you can find one for 200 bucks. If you're a bigger guy, I'd try to go with metal pedals instead of plastic ones. When I was 220, I broke my plastic pedals within 2 weeks of having my bike...clean break, as in they weren't rotten or anything. It has shimano trigger shifters, which is a major plus. I love mine! You might could go with this bike, and it might not be bad (minus the seat from the looks of it), but I'd get an opinion of someone who has it. No reviews on amazon, but the seat does seem a lot different from the one pictured on the provided website. Good luck, but I don't know if I helped any.
