Has anyone broke their rear bike rack when giving someone a lift?
Haha, aren't most racks rated for like 10-15kg?

Yeah thats what ive seen, but witnessed someone getting a lift on an old raleigh rack on an old raleigh 3 speed and it seemed safe..

IIRC the EU standard won't let you certify (OTP?) racks to more than 25 kg, but I'd have no problem giving backies on my Dutch bike - I reckon the rear wheel is going to start breaking spokes before the rack gives way.
