Does it help the aerodynamics to have an arse the same width as the panniers ??

[KiwiCol]

Why yes, yes it does! The drag co-efficient would be greatly reduced if that were the case.

I usually only put them on when the missus is on board. I'll ask her what she thinks about the aerodynamics and drag co-eff.

No no no.....I'm sure she barely affects the power to weight ratio.
