I've recently started riding a bike which is a bout 10lbs lighter than my previous regular ride. Coincidentally I'm about 10lbs heavier than I was a few months ago
It doesn't make sense, but I am definitely faster (about 2mph on average) on the lighter bike than the heavier bike, despite the combined weight of rider and bike being about the same. The bikes have similar geometry, tyres etc.
So why am I faster on the lighter bike?
