The full protocol for a rider measuring their weight is as follows.

Have someone else film for you or film yourself using a mirror so that you are visible throughout the video.

Before starting the test

• Set up scales suitable for measuring body weight in the middle of a room on a hard, even surface, with nothing nearby to hold on to.
• Find a solid heavy object (approx 10kg) that you can comfortably carry. Object must clearly indicate the mass of the object (e.g., “10kg” printed on the face of a kettlebell).
• Make sure you are wearing sports/cycling shorts and a jersey.

During the test

• Start recording a video on any device; for example, a cell phone
• Show your face on the video.
• Show yourself performing a live internet search for the current time and date, and the results that it gives. You must clearly show the URL of the website and refresh the webpage so it is clear that the time and date are current. Screenshots of mobile phone clocks or computer desktop clocks will not be accepted.
• Show the scales.
• Zero the scales and show the zero reading.
• Show the portion of the object(s) showing the mass of the object (e.g., label or printing on the object).
• Place the heavy object(s) weight on the scales and show the reading. Zoom in so that the reading is clear on the video.
• Take the object(s) off and show the reading.
• Pick up the scale and turn it over to show that there is nothing on the underside of the scale or on the floor. This must be shown clearly on the video.
• Place the scale back on the floor approximately 30cm away from the previous location.
• Stand on the scales yourself (without the weight) and show the reading. Zoom in so that the reading is clear on the video.
• Take yourself off and show the zero reading.
