Default Returning to Mtb after 15 years off

Hi, I am returning to Mountain Biking after a 15 year, and 70 pound,
layoff. I am looking for a fully suspended bike that will take the
abusr of having a 250 pounder riding on it. Any advice would be
welcome.

NOTHING will take that kind of abuse. You are better off walking.

years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of!

Liar.

There are several full-suspension mountain bikes that can take a 250lb
person.
