yup so much more efficient, going to work you don't want to tire yourself out so cycle slower. On a MTB you'd be virtually going at walking pace
Not quite sure who's mountain bike you're riding but I've often hit 40mph on mine
You could maybe hit terminal velocity off a tall cliff

yeah
how did you come to that conclusion it is correct BTW.
Is that after strapping jet turbine onto the seatpost?
I've had 44.7mph on my MTB and that was before I fitted semi-slicks.
Down isn't included.

I recently bought myself a cannondale caad 8. Been using it to get to work a few mornings a week. Splashed out on some shimano shoes and Spd pedals, very good purchase.
I am on the lookout for a good waterproof jacket, like the look of the altura ones, nightvision.
My commute is only about 7miles each way, managed to average just over 15mph today on the way home, really pleased with that. I use the endomondo app on my phone at the moment but hope to get a garmin computer before the end of the year.
Stuff is currently carried in a rucksack but I'm sick of getting a sweaty back so I'm going to ruin the look of my bike and get a carrier and bag fitted. I used to have a topeak MTX bag on my work bike which was fantastic so will probably get one of those.
I wouldn't say locking out front suspension makes a lot of difference with efficiency, locking out rear suspension is a different story though.
