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.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
