Guess I'm breaking new ground, again.
Once again define 'a normal adult bike, outside a normal sedan'. What is normal to you?

Is the 'normal sedan' a notchback? Does the 'normal adult bike' have a removable front wheel?

Your not breaking new ground except for posting in Aerodynamics instead of Ecomodding Central or General Efficiency. Central has the most traffic. You want to attract comment from someone like Bicycle Bob or Toecutter.

The picture I wasn't willing to post has a ~$120 bike. The cable lock locks it to the back bumper. The front wheel comes off, but I don't bother. I haven't tested the mileage penalty, but it's within the wake of a 'dirty' car, a [normal] VW Beetle.
