[MENTION=152773]noglider[/MENTION], I ride 90% S/A bike and 10% NuVinci (due to the large chance the NuVinci hub not having an O/D. I only select it when there is no S/A bikes available), and I never notice any difference between the way the two feels.

I almost never ever ride the Shimano bikes, and if I do, it is usually through the streets to another dock that has a S/A bike. But last time, I rode it the whole way along the Hudson River Greenway, and I thought the steering felt faster on it. I always thought the S/A steering was heavy and sluggish, but eventually got use to it and now can dodge and dart around multiple obstacles, Maybe with the faster steering, the bike can be steered easily w/o my hands on the handlebar via weight shifting while having my bag strapped to the basket in the front (something that seems to be impossible with the S/A or NuVinci bike). But then, the shape of the handlebar dissuades riding with the elbow resting on it for a more aero position.
