Hypermiling vs speed bumps
How do I negotiate speed bumps efficiently?
I know - take a route without them.
But what if I don't have an alternative? My neighborhood street has about 6 bumps over 300 meters, some of them quite big. Until now I would pulse, coast, engine brake, roll over the bump, pulse, coast, etc. Sometimes (if there is noone behind me) I pulse to a lower speed and then don't engine brake before the bump. When I can, I go closer to the edge which is lower.
Am I doing it right? Any better ideas?
