Does the distribution of total weight between a bicycle and its rider matter?
Assuming the total weight of a bike and its rider are constant, does the distribution of the weight between the bike and the rider make a difference? From a physics standpoint, does it matter whether I weigh 203 lbs with a 20 lb bike or if I weigh 200 lbs with a 17 lb bike?
Although I cannot explain why, I perceive that the distribution makes a difference. For example, I have the perception that riding my bike with a 10 pound backpack is easier than riding with 10 extra pounds on my bike frame (i.e., panniers).
yes it will make some differences.
When you lean into a turn, the height of the center of gravity will affect how hard you have to lean.
Plus, if the center of gravity is futher back, you will have more friction on the rear wheel which will make it harder to pedal.
