- AceyMan 8y agoTo be fair, this is in fact a very common observation among cyclists, with no snark intended. Obviously, mass is mass, it matters not one whit if it's meat or space-age metal. It's just funny how many wannabee Eddy Merckxs seem immune to that truth, and we who grok it like to snicker when we hear discussions like the one cited.

Of course, he could alternatively have cut down his dinner portion by a slight amount for the same effect. 500 grams is ~10 calories per day for a year, and 10 calories is 1/25th of a Snickers bar or about one eight of a potato. Either way, he'd get the same effect has the extra $3500 would have, which was what I found amusing and why I mentioned it.
