Have to agree with you. None of my bikes are light by any means. But am more glad to be able to ride again than concerned about weight. Or speed. So if I'm slow, sobeit. After enjoying lots of rides on my Sam Hillborne shod with Marathon Supremes, not even sure I could go back to a "skinny" 32mm tire again. Definitely am not worrying about being fast.
But the weight issue is still more with me than the bike. And the fact I can even ride 10+ miles into work is still surprising.
