Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.
Youre a person who prefers function over aesthetics, thats totally fine.
140kg stool is perfectly acceptable as a furniture piece anywhere but your mind.
Well, no. There’s a place for design and fashion pieces and a place for lightweight / inexpensive pieces. But the middle of the road options, your everyday average furniture? Those should be sturdy, reliable, simple pieces. I can see a stool having a 140kg weight limit when looking at it from the perspective of “a stool is for one person sitting on it”.
But I’d rather it have a bit more strength. Things happen, like somebody wanting to sit in your lap for a moment or children being silly. Design for when things go wrong, not for a happy path use case.
