Maybe 5 % would be the difference, as my usual tires aren't so light either, having heavy puncture protection.<br /><br />It is also interesting how a bicycle is rather optimal for the muscles, each muscle working only about 1/6 of the rotation and then resting, allowing it to recover meanwhile. Remarkable fit to human physiology.Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-20616703617298158952012-11-22T21:46:09.705+02:002012-11-22T21:46:09.705+02:00Juha, cycling certainly protects you from many att...Juha, cycling certainly protects you from many attacks on your health, as your immune system is constantly working - micro injuries in the muscles you use are its daily gym session. I remember I never was so healthy as when commuting daily by bike over a 17km distance, summer and winter. <br /><br />That you feel tired is certainly caused by the studded tires, too. I'd guess they need 30% more energy for the same distance as normal tires do.Markushttp://markus-spring.info/spillovernoreply@blogger.com
