SportTracks is pretty good at guessing the sport (cycling road or cycling trail) based on the speed of the activity. It'll get a little confused when I swap between BC skiing with the ForeRunner and mtbiking with the Edge in the spring, but once I'm only riding it knows whether I'm playing in the dirt or on the pavement based on speed.
Besides the weight of the bike, there is a setting for tire size too if I recall. Meaning if you have standard 700c on the roadie bike, vs the smaller mtb tire.

I know this made a diff with a couple of my other computer and calculating the wheel rotating distance. But, not mega tons. Yet, a diff.
