Bike over rack weight just to get it home?

We have the older model of the Thule T2 rack, and we just ordered the Aventon Abound SR from a local shop. The rack says it can hold 60lbs each for two bikes. Without the battery the bike is about 72lbs. We just want to get the bike about 20 minutes home, what so you think about putting it one this rack for that drive? Or has anyone put a heavier than 60lb bike on this rack? I’m also worried that the fender will get in the way of the front support but was thinking I could just put that right in front of the fender? Thanks for any advice.

Comparing a two cargo style bikes. I would love opinions.

I want a relatively affordable around town bike where a child can sit on the back. Here are the two that look good to me, and I am wondering if anyone has good or bad experiences with these bikes or brands? Thanks for any insight!

How much can you actually adjust the Avinox M2S motor with the app?

I just demoed the Pivot Ampd mountain bike yesterday and it was a BLAST (especially in turbo, yikes) but I’m worried that it’s going to be hard for me to get a workout between the three default modes. Eco felt too similar to analog riding, but trail was a huge jump up and felt like no exercise at all. I really wished there was a mode in between. I’ve read that the app lets you adjust the power settings, and I’m curious if anyone has a bike with this motor can tell me how much customization there is? What is the percentage you can turn the assist on trail mode down? And can you create multiple versions in the app to switch between, like trail low and trail high? I would love different trail settings for days I want to coast and days I want to work, or depending on if I’m riding with someone on an analog bike. Thank you for any insights you can give me on how customizable it is!

I love the look of these grips with the waffle pattern, especially the purple with the oil slick, but I'm not seeing a lot of reviews online. Anyone have experience with them that can speak to the feel/durability? I ride in a very dry climate so I'm not worried about wet performance. Thanks!

Curious if the sequins make this too formal? Here is the dress code: "Semi-formal attire. Think cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, or dressy skirts for women, and slacks with a button-up or suit for men. Please no jeans."
