That’s a good quick check to run, thanks. Though, as the author mentions in the post, you could start experimenting with wooden frames.
On the other hand, assuming 20 pounds of steel per bicycle, that means a king could have had 20,000 * 300 / 30 = 300,000 bicycles per year. That’s a whole lotta bicycles to not be building. ;)
