My boyfriend ended up ordering me a Citizen Tokyo with a rack and muffin tires for Christmas so I guess for the short-term we'll see how it handles. One of his friends weighs 264lbs and doesn't have a problem riding his citizen apparently. It should give me some time to save up for something more substantial in the future. Though I like how quickly it folds down. That's great for getting on and off the boat and or train and quickly get moving.
