That's a distinction likely to be missed commuting w/ panniers, or even a backpack, I imagine.
I just got back from a 12 mile lunchtime getaway, took me 42 min w/ flatbar roadbike (50/39/30 11/28) Friday, 45 min w/ mtn bike (44/32/22 11/30) today (but today I somehow had headwind both ways). Obviously need more replicates to find out if the 3 min dif is consistent. Either way, nice to get out of ot the windowless cube farm!
