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.

    I picked a random bike on their website and it had the exact same problem the article is about: it doesn’t list a maximum weight for the rider.

    I guess this is one situation of privilege I and a lot of lightweight people experience: Of course the bike will support my weight, I don’t even have to check. Meanwhile people over 200 pounds are told to import bikes and 300+ people don’t even get any certainty that an import will support them.
