Bicycling/hypermiling: a good mix

Added another 7 miles instead of driving today! Weather is fine! I always follow the kid rule, modified: look both ways, look for the police, go!

Good point- not pissing off the majority (which we have to live with and interact with until death do us part) is more important than avoiding a relatively minor fine.

Hopefully we`ll be careful enough and inconspicuous enough in our sinning ways to evade both issues

We are operating vehicles so the rules apply to us - even if it is more difficult to stop and regain speed again unless there is an electric motor involved.
