MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
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!
Yep muscley blokes are destroying the trails 👿you do all know that muscle is heavier that fat right?
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 😛
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.while MTB tend to have a higher proportion of big hairy chubbies increasing it to the 75kg as quoted.
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... 😉

55kg. My MTB is only 12kg too..
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.
I am 58kg. I am a woman of average height (but below average dress size: 10) - I am the average mountain biker! 😯
63-67 kgs dependent on time of year. When I dip under 64 kgs I just look ill, and I dont even feel the bemefit on the bike as I dont feel strong. 65 kgs is spot on for me. 5'7"
6 ft 1, 64kg... around 4-5% body fat.
Im 16 though!
64kg clothed and a touch under 6'. Could possibly lose a bit more with the aid of a proper curry.
I could eat 60kg.
I am a short arse male at 5ft7, so I'm under 60kg. Perfectly healthy, love a good cake and don't look anorexic.
Bike must be well under 15kg too.
Can't believe you lardy folks are churning up my trails. Grrr.
65kg, 5'11" vegetarian (was 62-64kg as a vegan!), 26. When I'm walking I've probably got about 6-8kg extra in water, boots, rucksack, emergency kit, poles etc (mountain walking, not a stroll in the local park) I'm training to be an ML so have to do things "properly".
The Meta isn't light either, depends how you ride though?
I'm 6ft and currently way 79kg, the lightest I've ever been was 70kg, and I looked pretty unhealthy.
98 beautiful Kg's of trail destroying lard and sinue.
I think I was probably born more than 60 kg.
I suffer from chronic cake retention and as a result I'm a lard arse 😥
5’10” and 61kg here. Still carrying a bit of belly too.
LOLs at thebunk, I always think that when he posts that pic, bless 'im!
75kg here sans bike or clothing (steady!)
Yes. Well.. no, really.
5'10" and 59kg
oh and, you got me, vegan 🙂
Just talking about Cake...yum..yum
60kg, which side, my right or my left?
Hah, one of my riding buddies is about 60k, I love playing the lets free wheel down this bit and see who makes it there first game - gravity in action is awesome!
gravity in action is awesome!
Apart from when your a fat knacker trying to cycle uphill
My first dump this morning was about 60kg, does that help?
Do I win - 52kgs 😛 and have put on weight (muscle!) with my winter ss training!
I'd describe myself as looking healthy (i.e. not too fat or thin!), but I am only 5' 4" 😛
98 beautiful Kg's of trail destroying lard and sinue.
Pathetic. 101 here. 😀
Jeeze there must be some right skinny folk on here!
62kg, 5' 4 1/2". I'm very dense. 😀
0.1 megagrams
😆
I can probably sneak in there at 65kg when at racing weight (6'2").
Probably a bit over at he moment due to more strength/speed work than endurance (and possibly a pie or three).

Having recently lost 24kg I can assure you that any gravity based gains on the downs from being tubby are more than made up for on the uphills by being a skinny wretch.
5'11", 65-70kgs for the last 15 years (32 now) depending on what kind of exercise and what types and amounts of food and booze I've been throwing in my face. Been on 4500 Kcals a day for the last three weeks, so it'll be interesting to see what the scales say.

We need pictures!
64kg 5ft 10 in normal clothes
109kg ish. bike weighs 20kg ish, that's a whole load of erosion going on! plus the pies i carry in my man bag.......
5'11" and hovering just over 11 stone, which puts me at about 72kg.
Big boned
6 ft 1, 64kg... around 4-5% body fat.Im 16 though!
Almost exactly the same, only I'm 67kg, 6ft 2 ish and also 16. Not a clue how much of that is body fat, probably very little.
91kg with 14kg bike when i go walking im normally carrying 15kg.
mmmm cake
almost 5'10" 83 kilos of pure racing snake
WTF are you carrying 15 kilo when walking? I will be away for two nights wild camping this coming weekend and will be carrying under 10kg
6'4", 94kg, my racing weight would be about 85 - 88kg but there is no way I am getting near that unless I am training for something.
My downfalls are beer and cheese.
He carries an extra 5kg of cake? I prefer sausage rolls myself
Best part of 100kg and 6'4" here. That's why it's so important that my bike is lovely and light.

Where are all these eroded trails? I did 26 miles off road in beautiful, sunny S Wilts yesterday and didn't see a single soul out cycling. On that basis I don't care that I weigh 70kg (5'10") and I don't know how much my bike weighs.

Yeah in fairness I'm only ever laughing after I've stopped coughing up a lung trying to keep up on the uphills!
give that lass some pies - she needs 'em 🙂
No you need to cut down on the pies.
You need a chuffing tandem cos it's the only bike what'll take your vast bulk....

That's because you'll be making SWMBO carry the heavy stuff.
Two nights wild camping? I thought we were camping by the Bridge of Orchy hotel on the first night.
58kg, 28 yrs old, 5'8" tall here :p
I'm 64 kg at the moment and 5ft 6 ish but want to lose a fair bit ovEr the next two months what with impending nuptials!!
