Actually, that's a great point.
When I ride now, whether alone or with a group, I consider it "training"...or getting better shape.
If I entered a race and had a racing mentality, I'm sure I'd want a lighter bike. Hmmmm...
So I guess the question would be - If just out on a group ride and not in a particularly competitive mood...would you still opt for a lighter bike?
