This summer, should I cycle naked?

[DiddlyDodds]

I've often wondered what all the kit and clothes weigh on top of the weight and bike, and I know, cheers for that. It must have been a slow day at you house.

74kg, skelletor ???

Should I be worried at 66kg then?

Back on topic, it's surprising what clothes weigh. My panniers for commuting weigh 8kg (on top of an 18kg bike), the majority of which is made up of my work clothes. To be fair though I work in an unheated warehouse and have been wearing up to five layers through the winter to stay warm. I suspect my comute will speed up a bit when the weather improves and I'm carrying less.

Edit: Oh, and cycle naked if you like. Just watch out for the rozzers.

Assuming your water weight is including the bottle? If not, move house to where water is the normal weight of 1g per 1ml.

I do appreciate the level of detail you have done this study to

Look up World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, Oregon. But not at work.

There's a similar link on here already.

Will it burn my eyes out?

Some of the more portly gentlemen will when you observe their saddles have disappeared from view in a rather unhygienic manner.

The weighing obsession started when I found a pile of broken Sartorius lab scales thrown in a skip at work, got permission to rescue them then took them all apart and made one working set with the bits. It weighs to 100th of a gramme ...

I'm very disappointed by the imprecise weights of your kit that you have supplied. Only to the nearest gramme.

Bit of chamois cream will see you right if you get a touch of the rozzers. ;-)

Ah, but how tall are you, Phil? Globalti and I are about 1.86 m/6' 1" tall.

Which is exactly why we need to judge the OP's question on fact based evidence

Is it worse than a naked James Corden?

There are a few more in that picture though!

I can't do it. I'm seriously disturbed by the James Corden/Beckham photos
