The same thing it does to the legs of someone with a healthy weight. It provides low-impact cardio workout with a bit of muscle toning. If you push hard-and-slow you get more muscle growth, but stress your knees more. If you push light-and-fast it's more cardio and kinder on the knees.

∙ 14y agoAn average bike in decent condition is very strong and can easily carry the weight of two adults during normal riding, so probably nothing. Someone more overweight than that will probably cause frequent failures if he/she tries to ride a regular bike. But if the person really wants to ride a bike one can be built extra-strong, and probably capable of dealing with rider weights up to 600lbs or so.
With that said, it's also quite easy to find a weaker-than-average bike too, particularly among high end road bikes, and those can quite easily fail due to excessive rider weight.

∙ 12y agoOh, sure. In fact cycling can often be better than jogging, as there aren't any jolts and shocks as you get from jogging/running.
It'll take a bit of extra care to pick out the bike though. Frames/forks will usually do OK, but you may want to make sure that the wheels are up to it.

How do you ride your bike in sims 3?
First, make sure you buy a bike and a bike rack. You can find these by going to Buy Mode ---> Outdoors ----> Transportation You can buy a bike there and a rack. Place the rack in your yard or wherever you want to put it in your lot and put your bike next to the rack. It will automatically place your bike at the rack. When you are done buying it, click on the place you want your Sim to go on the map, and if you do not already have a car, your Sim will automatically get on the bike and ride it to your destination. If you have a car too and your Sim keeps riding in that instead of the bike, click the bike and hit the option 'Make Preferred Vehicle'. This will make it so you always use the bike. To switch back, just click on the car and make it your preferred vehicle.

Sure, but if it has tri/TT bars you probably will have to pull them off to be allowed into an organized event. Expect to be losing some due to the fairly extreme riding position an all out TT bike will put you in. For ordinary road(group) racing most riders prefers a bike that's a bit more flexible in terms of use.

Can you change a kids bike into a trick bike?
Don't really know what you mean by a trick bike. But generally kids bikes tend to be rather crappy. Kids will outgrow their bikes fairly fast, which makes the parents unwilling to spend money on them. As a result, they're often heavy, with poor parts poorly put together. For a trick bike you'll want something lighter, stronger and more suited to hard riding. And as bike parts are least expensive when bought as a complete bike it doesn't make sense money-wise to spend a lot of money on a complete bike make over. Better then just go for a new bike.
