Cycling has a weight problem: a call for the industry to be more transparent about its weight limits - eviltoast
Cycling products’ weight limits are typically hidden deep within owner’s manuals or not listed at all. This is a problem.

Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

    where significantly fewer people are overweight or obese

    Hey, not sure if you’re getting your numbers from the article, but you may want to double check.

    40% of Asia is overweight or obese and over 50% of Europe is overweight or obese, with USA at 75%. (Sourced from WHO)

    Also, just an aside: the USA is the smallest of these three by population, so the total number of overweight or obese people in Europe vs USA (240-250M)is fairly close even though the percentages are higher.
