Hello /fit/,
I am an obeese 18 year old guy, nealy 300 lbs, and I have always had a love for bicycle riding. Problem is, they tend to break under my weight, particularly on the handlebars and pedels. I would really like to get a bike that can support my weight, but being 18 and working minimum wage limits my options. Are their any good bikes under $200 thar could support a large man like me?
Thanks!

No
buy used, depending on your area you might get a decent low end mountain bike. Check http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/
lots of listings. Any really entry level mountain bike should support your fatass unless your hucking huge jumps and drops.

What do you think I want a bicycle for?

Bro I weigh 297 and ride a 20" bmx bike, or my 29" mountain bike. Either you're heavier than that, or you're just riding a really shitty bike.
If anything save up more and buy a used but good quality mountain bike for $300-$400

280
Probably shitty bikes

Eat less food rather than spend good money on a fucking reinforced bike.
Read the fucking sticky and learn how to control what kind of shit you fork into your fat fucking mouth.

You need an unbreakable Litespeed titanium frame to withstand all of your glorious mass, not that steel/aluminum/carbon fibre nonsense. Go buy it.
To ride it enjoyably weekly~ish to make yourself feel good about"exercising" while not doing any actual shit to lose weight.
Self-pat on the back ftw. Don't forgef to say out loud for yourself "I biked an extra mile today, so i can eat this pizza now".

If you're in Canada get a shit teir bike from Can Tire. They won't last but just keep taking them back and they will replace it. Scan and save that receipt.

In bicycling circles, you are what is known as a "Clydesdale".
I'd go to your local bike shop and explain your situation. (It will probably cost you a lot more than 200$, but you could probably save quite a bit of money by just eating less food. Just sayin'.)
