Often I'm ask about a Beach Cruiser for a Big and Tall Man. Sometimes these bicyclist lean
towards a stretch bike thinking that will help them accomadate their girth. Unfortunately, the exact opposit is true. A big and tall man should not be riding the extended stretch cruisers because it shifts all his weight so that it puts a strain on his back. In addition, many of these bikes are designed for eye appeal but little comfort.
My recommendation for the big ad tall man is the "CHIEF". It is made by Firmstrong Bicycles and/or Firth Sports and is designed specifically for the big and tall man. From the extra inch length in the frame to the repositioning of the crank case this bike has specifically been made for big men. Indeed, I have sold these bikes to men girthed at 350 and 375 lbs and never had a complaint one (although the manufacture does not warrant this weight for the particular bicycle I have decided that is an error in calculation to avoid lawyers more than anything - - my opinion:-)
Anyway, I can tell you from personal experience the Chief is a great ride whether you are big and tall or just tall (recommended for men over 6 foot tall).
Be safe.
