yeah weird. ^^^

anyone have any stories about overloaded cargo bikes, particularly the Bullitt? The official limit is 400 lbs including the rider for the Bullitt. Wording on the website implies the frame can take more than that, but the wheels may have a hard time. I've had near 450-500 lbs. Definitely felt a little much.

I see no reports of broken cargo bikes on the web anywhere.

They always take loads more than the stated. Problems usually occur with snapped spokes or chains rather than the frame.

I kinked my front wheel out of true on the XC going slowly into a few pothole-esque pavement issues whilst carrying the gf and myself. That’s with jumbo tyres and relatively high spoke count. I’d have the fear hitting anything with an actual heavy load.
