Experienced cyclists can make the same time as beginners while using half as much oxygen - and they both have the same overhead for brains, etc. The knowing when to coast part transfers real well to driving. I love maintaining a constant speed through a green light when all around me brake later and accelerate more. On the right hill, I've maintained position within a car-length of ideal without using a pedal for over a minute. Bliss! I do wish more drivers would understand about the joys of echelon drafting in crosswinds. Someday. . .
