What is meant by "fast" bike?
Hi everyone. It's dumb question time.
This might seem obvious to some people but I see bikes described as fast or slow sometimes and I'm not sure what that refers to. I assume you can put the same tire on two bikes and the rolling resistance would be pretty similar. Is "fast" related more to the handling or a more racing oriented position? I'm sure lighter weight would help but I've seen relatively heavy bikes described as feeling fast so there must be more to it.
