I love riding my full-susser but hate it when I stand and try to sprint or climb standing.
I have also noticed that the slower I am riding, the less I notice a big performance difference between my mountain bikes and my road bikes. If I am just crusing at 15 mph, I see no reason why I would not want my super comfortable NRS1. Anything over 17 mph, though, and I start longing for my road bikes.
quite possibly so. I have a friend in Seattle, he & his girlfriend are both into bikes & we all may make the trip again.
I've noticed the same thing on the road - the road bike feels good going fast. starting & stopping sucks. I average about 16mph but have 52 stops in 12 mile commute. on the road bike, the total time doesn't change much if at all, and i get beat up pretty bad.
