Hi,

It is always true. 28/18 times harder on the pedals to get the 28/18 extra power at the same
cadence. Your points have nothing to do with the veracity of the statement your commenting on.

rgds, sreten.

28 mph no wind vs 18 mph into 10mph, both on the flat,
drag = 28mph, ignore everything other than drag.
