Small road bike.

Even with nice slick tyres on?

Yes.

 

[Milzy]

No idea what that means but sounds like you need a Pinarello

LOL No I don’t I need a “Road Bike”. 🤣

Isn't a Pinarello a roadbike then?

They make gravel bikes mountain bikes and road bikes. I just need ‘any’ half decent road bike.

That's all they used to sell, but apparently they also do gravel bikes now!

PS Beaten to it again...

They do some nice E-bikes too.

I’ve got 4 but they’d all be too big for you, soz

Maybe you could keep up on one of those?

I'm hoping to avoid motor power for at least another 10 years, but if I ever go electric then an e-Pinarello would be rather nice!

Uphill, yes, but a legal motor wouldn't help on the flat unless you had the headwind-from-hell! (Who can't ride at 25 kph/15.5 mph on the flat?)

You can pedal them though 🤷‍♀️

True, but it would be a bit odd to buy an e-bike to keep up with faster riders but then not be able to use the motor!

(Definitely not the case on very hilly routes though - for most people a Pinarello e-bike would be much quicker on them.)

Many, many cyclists. Me included. Other than in still air, very difficult to sustain. Caveat: I don't ride on roads any more than I can help. If I did, it would probably be easier.

Offroad, granted, it could be very difficult!

On good flat tarmac on a still day and riding in a fairly comfortable position with hands on the hoods, you'd only need to sustain just over 100 W to do 25 kph which should be okay for anybody who doesn't have health problems and who cycles regularly?
