Who says I'll ride my utility bike like I would a lightweight fixie skidder/road bike?
It's a very big jump between the two, the riding position is the most obvious factor for me, on the road bike, I find it's easier to maintain a higher speed than on my utility bike otherwise that's it, however I burn more calories maintaining a higher speed on the fixie skidder/road bike which is stating the obvious (faster = burn more despite feeling easier).
I actually gain weight when riding the utility bike despite doing 120 miles a weeks.
