I've searched the forum and not found and appropriate thread for this question. I was wondering if I am losing out by doing weekend training rides on a singlespeed instead of a geared road bike (the road bike's inaccessible at the moment so I have no choice). I cover around the same miles, and my average speed at the end is only about 1.5 mph slower, but I don't feel as fit or as fast as when I was able to train more frequently on the road bike. Should there be any reason why this is the case?
