[QUOTE="tbwrench, post: 505771, member: 14755"] i have back issues also and use a giant trance full suspension mountian bike. it is reasonably light, and has about 4-4.5" travel. i rode it 100 miles a week, to lose weight. (300lbs+ down to 215) with an average speed of 14mph. i rode with some triathlon guys for a 30 miler and almost died. heart rate at 170-180 hoofing that thing trying to maintain 18-20mph the tri guys werent hardly pedaling. i bought a softride tri bike and my biggest accomplishment is having done 70 miles in 4 hours with rest stops.for summer and clean road riding i like it alot but this time of year the mountain bike comes out in preparation for the coming snow and ice. i use studded tires when it gets real bad. if i had to sell one or the other i dont know which i would give up. i bought my fjr in may and have gotten up to 245 pounds from not biking........ i wonder if i can get studded tires for the fjr???? best wishes, tbwrench.
