Edit: eurgh, that was just a load of waffle. Basically:
I get a heavier bike/rider is harder to accelerate, but what positive effects can it have on speed if any? Given a constant pedalling force, will the higher inertia have any positive effect on speed (or maybe a reduction in force needed to maintain speed?).
