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

    If it’s not meant to hold 300lbs, it’s a decoration, not a stool! My apartment is only built for 2 relatively fit people, being a small walkup. So I consider it more a sculpture than something functional.

      Have we really normalized obesity to such an extent that we consider “a small walk” to be an indication of being fit? God.

      On the other point, maybe some Europeans can chime in: would you consider a stool unusable and fit only for decoration if its weight limit was 140 kilos?

        140kg limit for anything you’re putting all your weight on is quite generous.

        Anything over like 100kg limit is bonus

        A walkup apartment means no elevator, so to be fair to anyone else, a small walkup could still require like 15 flights of stairs. And by “small” I was referring to the apartment, but obviously still joking about the whole comment. Saying that a small apartment is only for fit people is supposed to be like saying a stool with a 300lb limit isn’t a stool.
