How to weigh a bicycle?

You're all mixing things up! He really wants to find the MASS of his bike (in kg), in which case variations in gravity etc do not matter if he is using the bucket and broom handle method. Unless he wants to be so accurate that the variation in the graviational field across a couple of metres will mess up his results?

But, unless we know exactly how much it weighs, or indeed its mass, we can only ever be guessing. What margin can/should we accept? My bikes all weigh about 10kg, but the error margin stretches to a kilo or two either way.

Without pedals.

To digress for a moment, we need to ask how to weigh a pie.

As in, "Somewhere, over the rainbow, weigh a pie..."

Put the front wheel on the bathroom scales - note weight - do same with rear - add together
