My bike is 29 pounds and the stuff I carry or mount to it is 15 pounds total, so altogether it's 44.

As far as my bike, both my Colnago and Litespeed hit somewhere in the low to mid 20's.

I've recently upgraded my lock to a whopping 4 lbs.
I've wondered about the effectiveness of an Afterburner... which seems to be more often than not out of steam.

With everything, including tools, tire kit, lock chain, water, and pannier briefcase with contents, my commuting bikes weigh 45 to 75 lbs on bikes with bare OE weights ranging from 27 to 48 lbs.

I was just thinking that we should start yet another "what's it weigh?" thread with pictures of every bike, but this cements it for me. I want to see that Poprad.

Aside from my love for steel LeMonds, I think seeing the difference in setups between light bikes and heavy bikes would be much more useful than just a bunch of text with numbers.

Depends on the kid. My son was (and remains) a total slacker, but was easier to pull on trail-a-bike than trailer. My daughter was (and remains) a maniac and would push me through stop signs and red lights when I was trying to slow down for them...

Like one of these?
Novara Afterburner

Not sure if you meant out of steam or out of stock. My daughter does seem out of steam sometimes.

As far as effectiveness, I can definitely feel when she's pedaling. Sometimes I implore he to help a bit more on the hills. So, yes, I'm certainly getting some assistance. Other times, it seems like she's "soft pedaling" but it's really not an issue once we're up to speed.

I shopped around a while before settling on the Piccolo. A couple reason's I really like it: First, it has gears. Gears are good. Second, it's considerably lightter than most other trailer bikes I found (though, in hindsight, some of that weight savings is mitigated by the heavy rack, but I'd have wanted to add a rack anyway). I looked around for a couple months before one popped up on CL for $50. It's the type of thing kids grow out of, so used ones do appear for sale periodically if you're vigilant.

Ha! True that. My daughter also has some ill-timed accelerations. She also keeps requesting her own brakes, but I fear she'll secretly use them when we're going up hills.

23 lbs riding weight; includes tools, pump and Brooks Flyer saddle...

Mine likes to pedal backwards because he likes the clicking sound the freewheel makes. Go figure. I always wonder if it adds some resistance.

suncruiser

My cruiser often gets used for commuting in the winter due to its relatively bulletproof nature. With the balloon tires, wide fenders and baskets it comes in at 58.3lbs. My district, with rack, fenders and bags weighs roughly 38lbs

kickstart

Add my commuter briefcase and its contents, it comes in at 75 lbs.

My Commuters, usual daily weights:
Trek 520 - 43 lbs. (700x35 marathon tires, full fenders, rear rack, panniers, pump, lights, mirror, lock, tools)
Trek Allant - 39 lbs. (700x35 flat protection michelins, steel fenders, rear rack, homemade panniers, tools, pump, lights, mirror)
Schwinn winter bike - 51 lbs (studded winter tires, fenders w/ mud flaps, rack, panniers, tools, lights, mirror, lock, pump, )
They aren't light, but they ride nice on crappy roads in all weather, and rarely need any on-road repairs.
Have Fun!

Aluminum XL cyclocross with 32mm gatorskins, seatbag with bike tool and spare tubes, fenders, rack, lights, bottle and cage, and a small pump... about 30lbs.
Pannier with typical commuting contents (clothes and macbook) is another 7 or 8 lbs.

I weigh my bikes as I ride them less WBs and panniers.

Ticycles geared: no fenders on - ~24.5#
TiCycles fix gear: no fenders on - ~20#
Peter Mooney: with fenders, Lowrider and rear racks - ~26.5#
City/rain/winter fix gear: with fenders, Lowrider and U-lock - 28.5#
Raleigh Competition: no fenders or rack - 27# (Fairly wild guess. Frame is 531 and light but nothing has been weighed as it has gone through changes. Seatpost is the very heavy SR adjustable setback post.

I don't work very hard at saving weight. I place function over weight almost every time. Now, light spokes, lightish rims and light tires make bikes really fun to ride. Almost no drawbacks to light spokes (if you are light, kind to wheels and build good ones). Ti railed seats offer a superior ride on rough roads but I offset much of that weight savings using large seatback posts to center the rails and improve rail life. On my lightest bike, I have significant weight in fenderwashers on the toestrap bolts to hand the pedal correctly for good pick-up at starts. (A first try pick-up is a huge leg saver on steep hill starts on the fix gear.)

All my bikes include a toolbag with two innertubes, patch kit, appropriate hex wrenches, usually a small tube of sunscreen and perhaps another tool or two. 2 WB cages. A full frame pump (Zephal HP or HPX size 3 or 4).

I weighed mine a few months ago. In commuting configuration: fenders, lights, ortlib briefcase . . ., as I would actually ride it to work, it was 41 pounds. With the additional 350W assist motor and batteries, 52 pounds.

jetta_mike

Fully loaded, my rigid mtb commuter weighs in at about 56 lbs. The weight varies depending on what I pack for lunch, soup is heavy!

InTheRain

Bike = 50 lbs, Gear = 15-20 lbs.

thugpipe

My origin8 bully weighs in at 27lbs at the moment (cromo 4130 frame and 1.95 hookworm tires being the biggest contributors). that is not counting the 7lbs chain I wear around my waist when riding or the 20+lbs backpack i am usually hauling. bike 27, gear 27 total 54lbs

GuyDebord

17.6lbs with lights. I have no use for panniers or rack, just use a backpack.

Bikerdave222

I might need to lighten my load. Bike with all its commuting gear is 55 lbs. Bike with water, pump and u locks is 38 lbs. Pannier with clothes and other things is 17 lbs.

crankythunder

My cannondale M100 with mini fenders, rear rack, rear bag and panniers, bike repair stuff, clock, aero bars, lights, suspension seat post, heavy comfy seat, and suspension bar stem comes in at 27 pounds. About 15 to 20 pounds of Lunch, thermos of milk, and work clothes brings it close to 50 pounds.

My vision recumbent, with bike repair stuff, bags, lights, clock, fenders, and snow tires is probably better then 50 pounds. add another 20 or more pounds for for daily needed stuff and it is getting up there.

Crankster

Bizman

Easy Motion Max 700+ PCS, 52 lbs, with panniers and gear 75-80 lbs. Mostly used in winter with studded tires.

Catrike Road (trike) 52 lbs, with panniers and gear 75-80 lbs.

Quest XS (Velomobile) 62 lbs, with gear 80-85 lbs. Hands down his is my fastest bike.

old's'cool

My 89 Peugeot Versailles weighs in at about 35 lb. fully dressed, minus any payload.



I don't have comparative weights for my other commuters, but will add the weights (i.e. in Earth gravity ) in due course.







During actual commuting, all of them will be sporting the trunk bag, that is clearly shown in the Ross photo. This contains tools and spares, and is not considered payload.
