acceleration will feel Quicker with the Smaller wheel..
Bike Friday's Pocket Rocket is Quite like it is called..
Biggest source of drag is the rider's body air resistance, .. a constant, if the same guy is on the saddle, pedaling,
which you all should have memorized by now.. Air Resistance goes up 4X as the speed goes up 2X ..
