Big girl looking for bike to hold her goodies! Any suggestions on bikes 4me

I weigh 130 and recently broke a spoke in 1+ month old Easton wheels. Needless to say I sent them back!! Luckily they had a guarantee! Prior to this I had never broken a single one in almost 3 years riding.

Redrhodie, Thank you for your response. I will find out where i can see the sirrus and test ride. I did a quick 10 miles today on the san rafael and liked it a bit more, but there is just something that holds me back...from committing. I will start my own thread after i do a bit more homework. 100 miles a week, what a wonderful number! Someday i hope to share that number! Funny, I saw the date as october and neglected to notice the year! lol.

Well, 10 miles is a good start. That was my normal ride length when I started, and it was hard at first (I'd come home with jelly legs). Still, test ride some other bikes, because there might be something better for you, one that will make you say ahhhhh when you hop on.

100 miles is piddly around this forum, but to compare is to despair! Do what works for you, and that might be half as much, or twice as much. When you get it right, you'll know it because you won't have any repetitive injuries, you'll have energy and feel great, and still time for other things.
