Ummm... Sure. And the cube root of 27 is 3.
But how is any of that relevant.
1) At those speeds, he is not dominated by air resistance.
2) He's talking about his
first outing on a 'bent compared to his
BEST time on a DF.
3) He hasn't yet bought the 'bent, let alone acclimatised to it (
"bent legs").
4) I just switched tires (and took out tire liners) on my bike. My best time went from an average speed of 12.9 mph to 14.3 mph. There could be a lot of factors contributing to the difference.
