anyone else find geared bikes use more energy or is it me?
been riding nothing but fixed for 9 months, feel quite fit, can do 25 miles fairly quick and not knackered at the end, got a road bike at the weekend and I'm shattered at the end of a couple of 16 mile rides, don't know if it's pushing a bigger gear with a tailwind or the fact that it seems to want to stop if I ease off slightly, my fixed feels like it wants to carry on, I got a geared bike to do some timetrials on but I'm seriously thinking of sticking to my fixed
anyone else find this with gears?
