Jun 12, 2016 at 19:21 comment added Daniel R Hicks I've weighed around 220 lbs/100kg for the past 20 years or so, and, while I'm not going to win any races, I've never felt that my weight threatened the structural integrity of the bikes I've ridden (including a number of kiddie bike I had to perch on like a circus clown while test-riding). At that weight one should probably avoid an ultra-lightweight bike, but any standard duty bike should give decent service.

Jun 12, 2016 at 11:50 comment added Batman The official load limit is normally around 120 kg. That's not to say 100 kg will work well, though.
