I want to start this with I've never driven a bike or even made a reddit post before lol. I'm looking into things to see if I want to get my license and buy a bike but I have no idea where to start. I was thinking about looking into gear first before bikes but again I don't know where to start. I'm 5'8" and 250lbs and have a large chest so I'm looking for plus size gear recommendations. I read a few things about the certifications on gear and what to look for with that but anything is appreciated. It would also be super helpful if anyone has any tips on what I should think about when looking for a bike. I know I don't want a cruiser and to start with under 500cc but that's about all I know.
