By far the heaviest part of your bike is you. In my case my bike accounts for about 14% of the total weight of me and it. For my flatmate who weighs 20kg more than me it's only 11% of the total weight. that's assuming my bike weighs 10kg which I think is pretty wrong but it's a fair guestimate for the case of my argument.
