minus-squarerbos@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoI was thinking more relaxed, city streets, stop signs every block. Average speed.
minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoTrue, but If you have been to Vancouver you’d know that cyclists don’t stop at stop signs :)
minus-squarerbos@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoI can throw a rock and hit Vancouver! Mind I’d have to walk a few minutes first. Even with rolling stops, my tracking usually puts me around 20, 25 if I hustle a bit.
minus-squarerbos@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoThe kind you pump air into? Less nobbly than mountain bike tires, not as thin as road bike tires. The type of tire is the bike shop’s problem.
minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·7 months agoI mean for speed, the type of tire affects your rolling friction
minus-squarerbos@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoI guess. Why do I want to go faster?
minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·7 months ago? Amnesia maybe. Original comment I replied to was you said 30-35 on a bike was not possible and maybe on downhill, and that you averaged 20 km/h. 30 is easily a steady pace on smooth narrower tires. That’s how we got here LOL

What tires are you running on?
