OR you could buy a Dutch IGH bike. They are made for a GF on the back. LOL.
Seriously, I saw a Dutch video with a medium size guy pedaling and on the back was a TALL guy sitting sidesaddle. Had to be 380 lbs total including the bike. They were just floating along like nothing.
My Rohloff14 tour bike is 120 lbs loaded, so up to 300 lbs with me. Never a peep.
I use 2.3/ 2.0 spokes on my other hubs.
