The weight limit is 250 and I'm 275 now. Should j return the bike. Or just keep it and hope my weight will continue to drop 9lbs a month. Ps I saw a 29inch genesis cruiser that is a bit bigger may help with leg extension and not feel to cramped. Ps I'm somewhere between 5'10-6 ft tall
Momma wants to ride? Then get on it!
Raise the seat until it feels right. If you can't raise it high enough to get your legs at the proper extension, then consider a larger frame. And don't worry about the weight limits; they're set by lawyers, not engineers. If exceeding the limit by 10% could be fatal, we'd all be dead.
