Not on a flat road it ain't, but if you head for the hills or mountains, you bet your ass it's a major factor.

Every gram anywhere on the bike, is a gram you have to lift up the hill or mountain.
It don't matter if it's one big mountain climb of 1000 meters altitude, or you go up and down 20 times the same 50 meter hill.
