Good answers, except I still think you need to account for stage length.<br /><br />On my list of calculations I'd like to do is to correlate speeds @ Milan San Remo with speeds in the Indianapolis 500. See what conclusions I can draw :).<br /><br />I love Jan's magazine. It's great to see some hard analysis get tossed out there: even if it doesn't hit 100%, it still provokes thought and discussion. And he certainly has me reevaluating many of my preconceptions about bike design, for example:<br />♦ optimal tire size and pressure<br />♦ the role of forks in suspension<br />♦ the effect of high trail (and the importance of wheel flop in cornering)<br />♦ the importance of modeling the human body in predicting the energy cost of riding over a rough surface.<br />It almost makes me want to go out and get a bike with low-trail, a front rack, and fat tires.

Thought you'd be interested to know that...Dan,<br /><br />Thought you'd be interested to know that Jan Heine responded to the post I had written about modern bicycles and Tour speeds. His comment is the last one against that post, so perhaps you'd want to read that...<br /><br />I have to keep up with your posts. My time has been involved in training for a marathon, and I have been neglecting blogging aspects for 2-3 weeks now.Ron Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394865788996482667noreply@blogger.com
