[quote:Anonymous Coward 39261463:MV8yMjI0MTYxXzM3Njk5MzQyXzREMzYwNkJE] Fat fucks. If we had fewer people taking cocktails of pharmaceuticals, we'd have far fewer fat fucks. It's the drugs that make a lot of people fat. And being lazy and gluttonous. We need to encourage smoking again. [/quote]

Can obese cyclists sign up for the city’s new bike-share program? Fat chance!
It is “prohibited” for any rider who weighs more than 260 pounds to sign up for the soon-to-launch initiative — prompting backlash from riders who say the fat-shaming rule is enough to make them fly off the handle.
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. [
