As a long time rider, that makes no sense at all. I've ridden tens of thousands of miles on bikes well under twice my weight and never noticed the effect above parking lot speeds; the gyroscopic effect of the wheels minimizes weight distribution at most speeds. If this was an issue, 150-200 lb. male riders on 25 pound bicycles would be losing control up and down the streets of America on a daily basis.
