When people weigh a lot, they might think their bike-riding days are over. Not at all!—says “Big Biker Chick” Joan Denizot, who is spearheading the spring and summer biking trend that’s getting obese people off their La-Z-Boys, out of the comfy lawn chairs, away from the TV and back-on-track.

And Joan lives what she endorses. A super-sized lady herself, Joan appreciates the great outdoors and loves to bike-ride. She’s a role model for fun-loving, fitness-minded folks who want to stay active no matter what their weight. Invite Joan on-air to reveal how cycling replaces a sedentary lifestyle with unforgettable family outings and beautiful scenery. She’ll talk about innovations that:

• Alleviate the large fears many large people have about getting on a bicycle again. Will I fall? Can I balance? Am I still able to maneuver a bike? Is it sturdy enough to hold my weight?

• Allow rediscovery of America’s scenic bike trails, boardwalks, friendly streets and parks.

• Can help save the planet. You’ll go green with biking, and commute without fossil fuels.

• Mean you can just ride … without sweating to an intense weight-loss regimen.

CREDENTIALS: Joan Denizot is a popular speaker and media guest who advocates bike-riding for people of all ages and sizes. Her company is the only maker of bikes for the obese. She has designed innovative, comfortable ZizeBikes, and rides one every day.
