Don't buy a Prius. Regenerative braking likely isn't for you.

Can the crew actually replenish the amount of power used using those cranks? Or are they cranking the whole time and playing catch up?
I just think about that video of a track sprinter barely being able to power a toaster (but also realizing that toasting a slice of bread wastes an ungodly amount of energy from not all the heat generated is utilized)

I’ve sailed on boats with electric winches and they do suck a few amps, but only for short periods.

Did my civic duty.
Bicycle related content: I did not ride to the polling place. I did ride after work.

Watched your "video" It is not an accurate comparison. The QB trips over his Johnson and falls down. I systematically develop a plan to cut my lawns in 2 steps and execute the plan flawlessly. Apples/Oranges

Speaking of weather, I just put the Bar Mitts on (maybe for the rest of the season).
I'm sure WhyFi has a comment.

Better than some, worse than others. See post #2460 (note: the entire lawn was mowed without interruption)

Read your "post." It missed the pertinent part of the play-by-play where the announcer said he ran out of gas.

My dad went to do a covid test today. He lost the sense of taste. I am a little upset with him, because he didn’t tell me and he has been around my family. He lost his sense of taste a month ago, so hopefully it’s something else.
