Folding Cycles and their Rider Weight Limits

Who could ride that thing? Look at how skinny the seatpost is! Even BuMMFluff would break it.

andy.w, could you write to them and ask their maximum rider weight limit?

EDIT:
I'm sceptical that it would be more than 100kgs. More for whippets than St.Bernards, if you get my meaning.

E-Mail sent.

Speedy reply:
I'm 17 stone and it was fine for me. I suggest you jump on board our test bike and see for yourself - we think it's the best in class for a compact folder. Give ben a call on the office line to set it up.

Impressive, and obviously confident in their feat of engineering.

I'll ask if they'll feel secure with a true Clydesdale aboard. I'd better check out some personal insurance.

And Sheldon Brown wasn't correct about everything cycle-related. He was 100% wrong about cycle security, as is EASILY proved.

He's not 100% wrong, just not idea in cities where bike crime is extremely high.

But, what about us chunky lads eh..?

This must be against our human rights.

Fucking Gordon Brown.

Can I sue..? oh wait maybe the council will make a folder specially for me... then i'll need a new house, to store it... and so it goes on.

Nice List GA2G.

The smaller the wheels, the less practical. The Strida is best for getting someone from their train station to their office. Both bikes you've shown have an allergy to even the merest sniff of an incline. They're only good in that they're so light, and hence impractical for more than a couple of miles on London's roads. Treat like The Plague.

Go Brompton for mainstream practicality, or Moulton for speed and comfort (but it doesn't fold). Bargains to be had secondhand for both.

Im not planning on riding the tour de france. Its 2km through a park from station to office.

Looks like I could get one of those Stridas for about AUD250 (GBP170).

Hmmm....

They are bikes for wankers, aren't they.

No they're not, they're awesome to the power of buyone.

Balki buy one. If you don't ever want to go out with a girl again. Your call.

But laydeez may find you all the more attractive for discovering your feminine side. No?

Balki buy one. If you don't ever want to go out with a girl again. Your call.

Pffft... there are women all over the Strida videos.

..and fucking weird Frenchy, moustache sporting, cargo pant wearing freaks

I've got a Brompton. I'll be buggered by the Mass Bands of the Household division if anyone under 20 stones can damage that bastard unless you are doing serious downhill/parachuting. I'm a handsome and chiseled 13 stones, and have had my eldest on my back (he's 8) and the youngest (5) standing on the top/bottom/only tube, and nothing gives whatsoever.

BAM!

Hipster accessory! Im ahead of the curve

Notice how the only hot woman riding it (the young brunette lady) and the dude assembling it from the box are both wearing white and green. Oh, and the company logo contains white and green. The power of subliminal marketing has just sucker-punched your wallet my friend.

"How is it on your ass-etts?"

Hahahahaaaa!

Ahead of the curve Balki? Are you sure?

That bike's already been Scobelized.
