Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

this is %100 true.

If I'm remembering right, it was explained like this: The cross section of a deep dish wheel has two triangles meeting at the point. The more leverage of the deeper rim puts more flex where the rim and spokes meet.
