If you have a reason to go less distance, but want a harder workout use the heavier bike.

Yup, what I was trying to say. Heavier kit = harder workout (as long as you push yourself in the same way and don't just tootle. You have to monitor how you feel/ how your body responds)

LOL... when I started riding I thought you just hopped on your bike and rode - turns out it's quite scientific and mathematical!
