I'm also overweight (6', 280 lbs) and poor, but like to bicycle. I haven't done it in a while because I don't actually have a bicycle at the moment. The last time I biked I did 13 miles on asphalt on a mountain bike, traveling along the riverbed to the beach. (Santa Ana Riverbed from Fountain Valley, CA to Huntington Beach, CA).

What I've learned:
Don't use a mountain bike with a semi-flat tire on asphalt and hills.
Buy your own personal bike instead of borrowing one.
Even if you are overweight it's still fun and good to bike.
I like bicycles.

Orange county is surprisingly good for bikes. I commute from huntjngton beach harbor to Newport beach 3-4x a week on my bike. I got a nice road bike for about $250. A cheap and fun way to spend an afternoon is biking down bolsa chica state beach to Balboa island and grabbing grub down there
