Depends on the bike, the rider, and the type of riding. Usually, if
you're going with a decent-quality bike, and riding it in accordance
with its design, you probably won't be in any danger.

Assume a decent quality bike, a rider weighing 225, and mostly trail
riding, is that going to be a problem, yes or no?

No. Just avoid "stupid light" components (especially wheels, seat post,
etc.).

Some full-suspension bikes will actually state a weight limit -- usually
just the racing models, however.

Go. Ride. Bounce. Smile.

You speak from experience, but I believe this thread was
in reference to the load capacity of a MTB.

About 110 pounds. They're not set up for grown men to ride.
