Super Sized Cycles, New Internet store, Sells Bicycles for Extra Large People for Fun and Fitness

Sixty-five percent of Americans are overweight or obese. Super Sized Cycles provides a solid, safe, and fun way to improve their health by providing bicycles and tricycles that hold up to 550 pounds. Previously, bikes were not readily available to the obese because of stresses of the weight load. This new company builds strong, safe machines able to support the oversized loads of super sized riders. Biking provides aerobic exercise, improved agility and self-esteem, and fun.

Burlington, VT (PRWeb) January 4, 2007 -- Sixty-five percent of Americans are overweight or obese. For these people, exercising has always been more "I hate this but it's good for me" than "this is fun!" That was until www.SuperSizedCycles.com opened.

www.SuperSizedCycles.com is an Internet store which sells bicycles and tricycles built especially for extra large people. Super Sized Cycles carries machines built to hold up to 550 pounds. The enhanced safety features and solid structure mean that the plus sized will not only feel safer, they will actually be safer. Now getting aerobic exercise is not only good for them, it's also easy and fun.

www.SuperSizedCycles.com was founded by Vermont businesswoman Joan Denizot when she realized that bikes for large people were not readily available. "I wanted to get back to bike riding, and when I figured out that nobody was making bikes big enough for me, a light bulb went off. Biking is so much fun, and for an overweight person, the feeling of self-propelled freedom you get from riding is unlike anything else out there. I realized that I'm not the only fat person who wants to ride a bike, so I created the store so big people could purchase bikes that are comfortable and safe for them."

"Biking is an excellent activity for the overweight and obese, because it is low-impact … and places minimal strain on the back, muscles, and joints. Regular exercise has proven to be a critical determinant in people living active, medication-free lives well into their 70s and 80s," states Scott Luria, MD, from Burlington, VT. With cycling there is minimal trauma (such as one gets with weight bearing exercises like walking) to the muscles and joints, and the heart rate is generally lower, so longer periods of exercise are possible. This is especially important for the severely obese, who have difficulty walking for any substantial length of time.
