In Newtons. Weight is a force measurement. Mass isn't. On the moon, Reynolds bike would weigh 5.5 lbs but it would still have a mass of 15 kg. In free fall it would weigh 0 lbs but still have a mass of 15 kg.

In Imperial measure, the mass unit is the slug. Reynolds' bike is just over 1 "slug" in mass.
