>>1804917I don't mean competitive riding, I just mean more "for fun", where you're trying to beat yourself.
>>1804913I understand this, but I was just thinking if a 5kg road bike is really faster than a 15 kg hybrid is the rider isn't exactly lighter.
The thing I'm getting at is how much "easier" is it to go the same distance & speed in a road bike vs a hybrid? If you're expending less energy to do the same on a road bike, then that'll mean you can go further and faster?
>>1804906In terms of further, I don't mean 200km vs 400km. I mean going from being exhausted after 10km and 180m of elevation to something further.
The question is certainly more about exertion - like how much energy am I "wasting" with a heavy hybrid frame?
