My utility bike has a Nexus 8 IGH. If I let my coworker ride my utility bike and he let me ride one of his racing road bikes (at least 15 lbs lighter, wide gear range, etc.), he'd still beat me to work by more than 15 min. We live in the same 'hood. He can get to work in 35-40 min. It takes me 1 hr. to ride the same distance.
He loves racing and trains all the time. Neither is true for me.
