Reading the access all areas story last night, from my skim reading of it some of the erosion studies seemed to be testing 60kg walkers vs 75kg bikers (15kg for the bikes) in the erosions stakes and apparently they cause similar damage.
But who the hell weighs 60kg? I thought the average weight around these parts was well over 80kg.
So lets say 55-65kg is within range who is in there?
who is over?
who is under? (presumably only children/petite women/vegans 
)
I'll start:
over
92kg 
Over. I'm 12 stone (76kg). But I am 6'4".
96 kgs (and climbing). Pretty sure my bike is more than 15kg as well. Does it help that I use wide tyres?
Edit: and I'm 8'4" tall as well, honest.
I once dieted/exercised down to 75kg and people thought I was dying
I was 60kg not much more than 10 years ago. Now I'm a healthy, not grossly underweight, 80kg...
My ex GF is 5ft7 and very slim, and only a smidge under 60kg.
60kg's I wish!
Edit: 75kg's I wish 
This thread clearly needs pics.
55kg. My MTB is only 12kg too..
61kg (5'8"). 1kg heavier than when I was at 18, 18 years ago
I think my left leg, both testicles and my cock come to 60Kg.
The rest of me tips me over into 90+Kg territory. I must have heavy legs.
I'm somewhere around 65kg.
But I have put a lot of weight on.
you do all know that muscle is heavier that fat right?
65kg, 6'2" ~ 5% fat, built like a racing racing. Though my DH bike is more like 18kg...
All about the weight efficiency!
you do all know that muscle is heavier that fat right?Yep muscley blokes are destroying the trails
Wouldn't they be averaging for all users, ie woman and children as well, prob guestimated that there are higher numbers of female / younger walkers by percentage hence lowering it to 60kg while MTB tend to have a higher proportion of big hairy chubbies increasing it to the 75kg as quoted.
EDIT - sorry higher proportion of well hung muscly types
Given the low % of both I'd hazard they are still well under (and I'll add my extra 20KG into the equation)
<65Kg on a good day and taken before breakfast...
Fighting weight is above 80KG. Currently above 90 at a guess, not weighed lately!
106 Kg here could come out with lots of excuses, rugby player, 6'2" but mainly because i eat too much even though Im on the idave non diet, I blame him 
while MTB tend to have a higher proportion of big hairy chubbies increasing it to the 75kg as quoted.nope from how I read it bike riders were classed as 60kg bike 15kg, you may be right about average user, women and kids, but I'd have thought most mtbers were male, portly or otherwise so the average weight is going to be a fair bit higher than walkers.
55kgs.
Yep muscley blokes are destroying the trails
Sorry.
Well over 60kg.
It's glandular.
It's glandular.
I agree. I did mention my glans...

Why have you posted a picture of a boy on a road bike?
124kg.
I have therefore eaten the average MTBer
I'm about 75kg, but add clothing, full Camelback, tools, food etc for a big ride and that's probably nearer 85kg, plus say 14kg for the bike. So that's close to 100kg for a only slightly overweight (honest) 5'8"
60kg? Good gravy, what's that in real money?
63kg here. 2 out of 3 bikes are less than 15kg and the other one is only 1kg over.
I'm well under 60Kg, I look good on it too. Just need to trim a bit more body fat though, looking a bit flabby at the mo. 
60Kgs is bloody anorexic!
According to Google, I'm about 70kg (assuming I'm remembering correctly, it's a while since I was last weighed).
LOL I haven't been 60kg since puberty 
Like turin, probably close to 0.1megagrams these days.
6'2", prop forward in my youth, always been "big" built, but these days more across the middle than the shoulders
116kg's (of mainly muscle!) + 100kg's of KTM + a throttle happy rider = vast amounts of trail erosion. But its so much fun!
Anything under 12st for a grown man means they stopped developing when they were 13
Balls probably still up too
Rasmussen just looks horrific
at 99kg* in me birthday suit I too have to stand up and apologise for all the erosion I visit on the local trails.
Sorry.....
* distinctly unable to 'blame' this on being tall and sporty.
