I agree the bikeshare bike's weight tends to be in the wheels area, as related to part of the bike station's security system.
My hybrid that I have been using most daily for last few years where I live, is approx. 29 lbs. and I have 38 mm wide Schwable commuting tires @ 70 psi. My dahon folding bike is around 21 lbs. or less. It has an internal hub, plus front and back racks. (I know weight weenies criticize the internal hub system for this....) Both bikes I have each lifted, onto bus bike rack over the years.
Honest, with these chinook high winds that often push through, I like riding with my weighted panniers to ..stay upright on bike with the strong crosswinds depending how the route curves and turns.
