I agree with MKahrl. I weigh 200 and have put 35-40# on the back a couple of times without ill effects. The load was actually strapped to the top of my rear rack, which is a terrible way to carry it, but worked fine. It actually didn't feel a lot different than my usual 15-20#, except of course I was slower. There would be some potential front wheel instability (flop) if I took my hands off the bars, but I'm not one to go no-hands with 40# on the bike. Sway can also relate to the stiffness of the rack. I'm using the Nitto Big Back Rack (Campee) and that is plenty stiff for this kind of load.
