i'm guessing most people here are in the first category. just a guess.
nothing else matters really.
I know at least one rider that was stronger than ever and had lower than ever gearing on the bike. He wasn't in the first category.

Tires? Fitness has nothing to do with it. Ability does. I know plenty of "fat and out of shape" guys that can still handle a bike better than most.
