At the least, the dedicated bike scale beats trying to weigh your bike with your bathroom scale, doing the body weight subtraction (just never seem to be that accurate). But best thing is, you don't have to keep trying to find out who put away the digital luggage scale after the family went on that last big vacation plane ride....
