How much does your bike weigh?

[fenlandpsychocyclist]

But surely, if i'm cycling along due east, with the earth below me already rotating at 1000mph the centrifugal force
of 1000mph + 15mph will make me, er, lighter?

This thread is getting daft.

Got me slippers on and pipe in hand, settling in for a laugh.....

If we all ride east at the same time will we make the earth spin faster or slower? Hang on, by my reckoning if we all cycle east then we will make the world spin faster so if we want to slow down time or at least make the days a bit longer then we should all cycle west. We should decide what we want to do and organise it one day. Who's with me for some bike powered time travel?

Best bike weighs 6.5kg. I weigh more than I should due to lack of cycling the past few months and my fondness for Bourbon & Scotch whiskies.

Why not put all the worlds best sprint cyclists on "South to North" LEJOG ... that'll really mess day and night / summer and winter up!!

Tourer is about 19.5kg - 456 inbred frame with front and back racks, 3 bottle mounts, 2" marathon XRs, touring rims, etc. MTB is around 12kg - spesh rockhopper with an OMM rear rack to double as a crud catcher. Nothing lighter, but if I had a spare 500 quid I think it's time I bought a cheap road bike.

 

[rowdin]

18kg touring bike, thats with a very heavy d-lock and heavy puncture proof tyres.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

got some token carbon jockey wheels coming and some other bits which should help me reduce weight a little further

 

[tyred]

My Rudge must weigh 45 - 50lbs

 

[MissTillyFlop]

Mine is 22lb without my gubbins on it and considerably more when I'M on it!

 

[akb]

Both my bikes weigh the same; double half its weight.

 

[fossyant]

2x Old steel road bikes - 9kg.

Fixed alloy/carbon commuter - 8kg with guards, but 9kg with rack fitted. Fully loaded with full pannier - same as a small elephant !

 

[redcard]

Bike is 10.5KG and I'm 70KG

 

[doctornige]

My car is 2.7 tonnes, and my wife is 11st.

 

[Big boy]

I weighed my bike without lights pump etc.
According to my fishing scales its just over 25 pound.
Its an ammoco budged road bike, with a small frame and 23c tires.
Oh im about 16 and a half stone so it dont tend to bounce around a lot
