Take a piece of plywood and cut it to size to duplicate the frontal area of your car. Bolt it to the front of a bicycle and see how fast you can pedal, compared to not having the piece of plywood bolted to the bike, or just run with it (the plywood). 90% of a bicycles power requirement at 30 MPH is aero drag.
