Its a question which has liklely been asked before but hopefully i can get some advice.

Was in a pretty serious motorcycle accident a few years ago which has left me with mobility problems due to an injury to my left leg.

For the last 6 months or so i finally too the step to start working on my health with some exercise which for me was by starting swimming. Ive been a regular swimmer since going 3-4 times per week after work.

Since the lockdown ive let myself go again and figure getting myself a bike for my daily exercise will allow me to get out and some fresh air as well as hopefully building some muscle in my leg and helping with weight loss.

My current weight is about 18st altho when i started the swimming i was around 20.

Im looking for a bike which wont have any problems coping with someone with a bit of extra weight, budget wise id like to keep price below £500, something which will be a good all rounder.

Any recommendations appreciated
 
ty for the replies folks, been doing quite the bit of reading about and like the look of hardtail MTB. Ive seen a few recommendations for the fat tire bikes but im guessing they are more for off roading / gravel stuff.

The area where i live has quite varied areas nearby, towpaths, industrial estates, some off road trails so im quite lucky that way. The biggest issue ive been having is finding a model which places have in stock.
