As a slightly serious question, although these factors are obviously interesting to an engineer, and to a bike manufacturer wanting to demonstrate having the best possible science, how much difference does it really make to the cyclist? I know aerodynamics is a major factor in cycling, but how much of what we're talking about is perceivable or measureable outside of the lab?
