Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

I’m 6 ft 6 myself and much fatter by the sounds of it, and I feel your pain! My biggest beef is when they say something is “appropriate for anyone over 6’!” And the other size categories are broken down in 2" intervals. Like a bike built for someone a half foot shorter than me is gonna work. I haven’t had a bike that fit since I was a child and shorter.
Another slightly related rant id like to rage is furniture in restaurants. Seriously child sized. I went out last night with friends and couldn’t get my legs under the table. Everyone had a good time but me who’s ass back and knees suffered.
Fuck being tall. If anyone ever gives you the choice be 6ft even.
Yeah, being tall sucks. If anyone out there wants to be 4 inches taller, I’ll be your donor.
Honestly if airplane seats were less like medieval torture devices and T-shirts didn’t shrink in the dryer, I’d be all right. I can deal with bumping my head on things and getting the same questions/comments every time I meet someone new. But being constantly reminded by ordinary objects that I’m not considered part of the bell curve? Rude.
SO rude!
Im just under 6’ and airline seats are torture at any height.
It almost has to be intentional. Two sheets of plywood stuck together at 90° would be more comfortable than whatever it is they’re doing.
On the other hand, my wife is 5’4” and springs out of her seat after a four hour flight like she’s just had a spa day.
