 bikeseattle.org » The Art of Urban Cycling
One ofthe big problems with the vehicular cycling principle, or any principle of urban cycling, for that matter, is that it fails to account adequately for the complexities, details, and chaos of the city streets.
The old war-horses of urban cycling will always say their worst wrecks came at a time when their minds were wandering.

 Cycling Science - Spring 1996 - AN EMPIRICAL MODEL FOR DETERMINING THE RADIAL FORCE-DEFLECTION BEHAVIOR OF OFF-ROAD ...
The growing popularity of offroad bicycles has led many people to investigate the mechanics of off-road cycling in depth.
Because an offroad bicycle wheel is most likely to be stiffer than the road wheel due to the smaller diameter and shorter spokes, this error represents an upper bound.
Additionally, since the maximum error occurs with concave bumps with radu close to the tire radius (i.e., when the tire has the largest stiffness), which is a situation that rarely arises, the wheel stiffness is inconsequential for the majority of the time.
