I’m sure they only use tax money from those 260 lbs or less.

I bought a nice bike for doing PT and some local errands for $85US. It's mine. I own it. I'm not renting it.
Those people are crazy.

“260 pounds isn’t going to break the bike." Do you think the city wants to do that?
Or do you think the lawyers lining up around the corner have something to do with it?

The program apparently will cost users $95 per year, or $25 per week to hop onboard, albeit for those who pass the weight limitations.
Can you pay with food stamps?

I once borrowed a bike rated for 230 lbs and weighed 280 at the time. That didn’t work out too well
Fatties can lose weight or ride bikes rated for them

“Everyone who signs up for the program has to agree to a contract, which states users ‘must not exceed maximum weight limit (260 pounds)’ because the bikes can’t hold that much heft”
I see a DOJ lawsuit coming. That 260 lb. maximum will have a disparate impact on black women.

Big people need big stuff. A rather large friend of mine had to get a gym quality treadmill because the regular in home treadmills aren’t rated for his weight. The difference between him and these people is he’s not riding the longest river in Africa, so he buys accordingly.

19-year-old Juleissy Lantigua agrees: “That’s bogus,” she says. “260 pounds isn’t going to break the bike. To me, that’s discrimination. And I’m not easily offended!” it's not discrimination. it's physics.

I’m trying to envision the long line of 260 lb + waiting to ride their bikes .... but in NYC the His High and Mightiness might have banned them from public transportation and ordered them onto an exercise program.

Quite a few things have limits of 250 pounds. Some ladders: one example of many. Maybe some bikes are built tougher than others. Wouldn’t want someone well over the weight limit to get hurt, and there are other good ways to exercise. Swimming is great for those who can swim.
