I'm really hoping I'll get all sorts of super sarcastic remarks and responses about how dumb this thread is.
So everyone is always talking about bike weight but I was curious how the bike weight related to your body weight to see what kinds of ranges people run and for what sorts of bikes. Kind of stemmed from my days wrestling in high school; dropping 5 pounds for the lightweights was impossible while the heavyweights could drop 5 pounds pissing. With that said, post your bike's purpose, bike's weight, your weight, and dust off the Texas Instruments and calculate the percentage
Bike type: xc/am/everything else (my only bike)
bike weight: 29 pounds
rider weight: 142 pounds
bike/rider ratio: 20.4 percent
