Meanings
- not comparableSomewhat heavy.
It is an interesting point whether a heavyish or a lightish machine runs fastest. One thing that tells against a light machine is that usually it is much higher geared than a heavy wheel, and therefore what is lost in weight is made up for by the extra labour of propulsion.
