Large Fella on a Bike

Unread postby Disco LT » 8 Sep 11, 6:19 am

The rebirth of Scott Cutshall began Thanksgiving day 2005, a bowl of vegetable soup for breakfast kicking off a new life where nothing would be the same. Cutshall, living in Jersey City at the time, weighed 501 pounds. He was having breakfast. And then he was getting ready to go on a bike ride.

He rode 1.9 miles that day, rolling through neighborhoods, biking on the street, stopping to rest four or five times to sit on a curb. Head down. Panting. Hot even in November.

I'm not sure i believe a 500lb person can actually ride a bike, that sounds like a dangerous way for a big guy to begin weight loss.


edit: even WITH the special bike... sounds scary as ****, props to the guy.

i know a dude who started bike riding when he was 170kg. got some special reinforced spokes to hold his weight.
/edit - he did also get the OK from his doctor before hand. Was told to just take it easy.
