1.8% is trivial. Totally trivial. So trivial that I won't even go in there...
I figure it's better than 1/10 mph at 20. It's a matter of perspective, personally I think anything over that amount is non-trivial since those tenths can add up.

Naturally it means nothing with respect to commuting time, but I like to ride in addition to commuting, and I like to go fast even though I'm not fast.
