Actually, I'm having a hard time finding weights for bikes. Any place I can check?

Well I don't really want to do any off roading and I prefer to keep my blood under my skin!
I'm not looking for any off roading ability at all. Maybe just enough to handle the dirt paths and gravel I come across. Would the Rockhopper or Stumpjumper be able to do what I want with no modifications?
