Does a different bike make that much difference in riding?

[Bike Writer]

In my case the answer is a resounding YES. I continue to be amazed at how much difference a new and different bike has made to my ride, ride enjoyment, ability, speed and efficiency. I've had my new bike for 10 days and rode 70 miles on her. I simply can't believe how much difference this bike has in quicker acceleration and greater pedaling efficiency. I go up hills and inclines easily that I used to struggle with. There are still several hills that remain challenging but conquerable.

I thought I had a very comfortable bike before, but on this bike I feel less tired after a ride. I usually come back feeling like I could go a few more miles and I'm not spent. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not about feeling like I could go more miles but it's working very well for my body and overall feeling of fitness.

I don't recall having this much joy from such a simple thing in a long while...with the exception of discovering the love of a bike all over again since taking up riding again last year

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is just me or there really is a reason why this bike can just get up and go faster and the efficiencies it has created.
