True that the most efficient isn't the most comfortable, but that makes engineering and bicycles so fun. You have gravity which is really annoying but not constant, then the air which is almost as annoying and is always there, and then the mechanics and the tires. I mean they've done studies that show how much time shaving helps the super fast
.
It's also interesting to see how people respond to marketing and to what the cyclists on TV do even when it offers little real world benefit.
Let
s face it cycling has everything in the human experience distilled onto two and sometimes three wheels.
