What Is An Equivalent Bike Speed Between Mountain Bike On Pavement And High-end Road Bike On Pavement?
I ride my mountain bike about 10 miles every day on the streets around my house and typically average 15-16 miles per hour. I know that the tires add a lot of drag, so I was wondering what my speed would be on a road bike that had less drag. I am thinking of getting a nice road bike, but I am not concerned with aero-bars or other drag reducing gear.
