Sorry, but it's raining here, so I will just post this to show it's a lot more complicated than you seem to understand:

Yes, I saw "slightly overweight" but honestly, I'm growing weary of the quibbling...
That said, I did read the article; very interesting, but limited by the writer's own admission.
The main problem I have with accepting "research" that justifies overweight is that I work in a social services field and deal with hundreds of people on an annual basis. I've never seen a 90 year old fat man.
Academy Sports locally has a Schwinn hybrid (man's bike) in stock that is rated for 300 lbs. Something like $250. Seriously, there are ways to get into riding without depleting one's savings.
