- is your route littered with stop and go's, if so, weight will be a factor
- psychology of knowing(or at least hoping) the racing bike is faster

why not use the racing bike for commuting ;-)[/QUOTE]
Boze. I have Should I need to go in for fewer hours than my normal shift.Can't say I recall how fast I went..Was awhile back.
But, what got my attention, I think the hill I climbed two days ago, on my race bike was steaper and longer, than my grade going to work and I was carrying a backpack! That is not efficient.?
Going to work, I have to carry work materials, food, clothes..It would be tough to put all that stuff in one backpack. I normally hate backpacks anyway. And going to work in this inland direction is often a very warm ride.
