Didn't Bike Friday change the way they report weight limits?

I think lucille has a NWT which used to have a reported standard total weight limit of ~260 pounds. But I seem to recall that Bike FRiday now reports rider weight limits instead and assume 30-40 pounds of cargo.

Our experience is that many hotels will hold suitcases for you (we never had a hotel say no, but we don't travel much). At least this was true prior to us having babies.
