Question for you bike gurus. I'm looking for other stuff to do besides walk for my cardio. Walking on the treadmill is great but gets kind of boring and also as I mentioned I have some tendonitis in my left foot that tends to flare up. Over the summer I can swim but that doesn't help now. Riding a bike sounds like it would be an ideal low impact thing for me but I'm not sure if I'm too heavy for a bike. I'm currently at 298. I also don't want to spend a ton of money.

My gut feeling is that I should probably wait until I drop another 50 lbs or more but wanted to see what you guys think.
