Just curious as I've never had a go on a road bike.
I'm getting largely into the top 1/5 or 1/6 of riders on Strava on my Cannondale Quick4 Hybrid.
Would a decent enough road bike speed me up considerably dya reckon?
I statrted on a Boardman Hybrid 4 years ago and it's now been relegated to turbo duties.Yeah, that's fair enough - I seem to do OK, but still get passed...mainly by serious looking folks in full lycra on road bikes.
I've been cycling a bit less than a year, so was hoping that a nippier, lighter bike would add a bit of speed to my ride.
Probably gonna get one anyway
Bike will make some difference but these other guys n gals may well have been cycling much longer and are possibly much fitter.
Why do you not try a proper race against proper racers, maybe a time trial with a number on your back. Anything else is will waving, sorry but that is just the way it is.
Think he means willy waving.....ie showing off.Que?
