Does your geared bike have a matching gear to a fixed? If so, the flywheel effect should be notacible, though there are multiple levels of getting more and more scientific to compare the two efforts. But if you ride them both on the same day, two days in a row, alternating which one is first, then compare times and percieved effort level, the result would be interesting.
My own macro observations are that my average speed is nearly identicle to freewheel, but my climbing speed is increased while my descent speed has decreased. Sincle climbing speed increased immediately on switching to fixed gear, with a similar gear to my freewheel ss, that points to the flywheel effect. Like you though, the physics of it baffle me, but I don’t really care. The difference it makes for my brain when riding is enormous. Grin.
