But it largely isn't a correct response.
Rolling resistance can be felt and it does impact speed. Whether thst matters to each of us is an individual decision and wolfchild doesn't speak for everyone, even though it is something he loves to do.

It should be easy to understand that two tires can roll at different speeds. Imagine a tire made of sticky soft foam and compare that to a traditional rubber rire. One will absorb more energy and require more effort to maintain the same speed as the other tire.
