Скачать или смотреть ZIZE Bikes: Selecting a bike for heavier riders

When launching Sunflowers and Pedals, my vision was to share my knowledge and love for cycling with those new to the sport and long-time cyclist of all ages, sizes, and abilities. When I met Joan Denizot, founder and CEO of ZIZE Bikes, on a Zoom call a few weeks ago, I knew she was someone I needed to interview.
Joan started ZIZE Bikes in 2005 because she couldn’t find anyone that manufactured one for heavier riders. I admire her drive and give her a lot of credit. First, starting her own business. Second, picking an industry dominated by men. But she is filling a void. Biking is a non-weight-bearing form of exercise and allows mobility for heavier people who may not even be able to walk. Bottom line, Joan helps those who previously couldn’t ride have their own “new bike day.” And you know how that feels! It’s incredible at any age.
Larger riders must consider key features when purchasing a bike, and ZIZE has it pretty much dialed in. They sell bikes for riders up to 550 pounds and design frames that won’t break under that kind of load. There’s a lot to consider, from wheels and tires to the frame material and Q factor (width of an installed crankset or how far apart your feet will be).
During my interview with Joan, she mentioned a typical ZIZE customer buys a bike to become active, have fun outdoors, and less about weight loss. Well, isn’t that true about most cyclists, no matter what size?
