I assume you mean why are more adults overweight than kids. When you grow older you aren't growing up anymore, so you don't need that extra weight to do that, your metabolism slows down, and you may not have as much time to work out. Hope this helps!

What are the best types of bikes for overweight adults to use for exercise and weight loss?

The best types of bikes for overweight adults to use for exercise and weight loss are typically hybrid bikes or recumbent bikes. These bikes provide a comfortable and supportive ride, making it easier for overweight individuals to exercise without putting too much strain on their joints. Hybrid bikes offer a good balance between comfort and efficiency, while recumbent bikes have a reclined seating position that can reduce back and neck strain. Both types of bikes are great options for overweight adults looking to improve their fitness and lose weight.
