Man Loses Most Weight Ever on TV: Discover the Bicycle He Used for People Weighing up to 550 Pounds
BURLINGTON, Vt., June 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Losing large amounts of weight can be extremely difficult, but a bicycle built to hold 550 pounds is making significant weight loss easier and much more fun. In tonight's episode of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition, James Garrisson received a bike from Super Sized Cycles to provide him with an enjoyable way to exercise. He rode at least two to three hours a day, in addition to other types of exercise, during his year on Extreme Makeover, and lost the greatest amount of weight ever lost on television. "That's what got me through the exercise," Garrisson enthused. "I never got tired of riding my bike. It was the one thing I never got tired of. The other things -- treadmills, jogging, weights -- can be mind numbing. When I was biking I wasn't even thinking about exercise, I was thinking about being daring and having fun."
Joan Denizot is the founder of Super Sized Cycles, which produces its own brand of Zize bikes, the only line of bicycles in the world designed for people who are big. With a positive attitude, she encourages people of all sizes to get outside and enjoy the outdoors by cycling.
