you would think that would help, but it doesn't really. you just go slower with the heavy bike. you put out the same power regardless. actually, you might be able to put out more power on the road bike because of the positioning.

anyway, you build anerobic strength by doing intervals. however, intervals shouldn't be done unless you have a good base, becuase intervals are very hard on the body, and they shouldn't be done more then once or twice a week.
