I must be finely attuned to gradient, and my spouse seems the opposite. Sometimes in the car, she thinks we're going down when we're actually going up. I notice the slightest changes with my eyes. Maybe I developed this ability when I was a teenager. I was already riding a lot but didn't get a driver's license until I was 20. When I was a passenger in a car, I thought about what it would be like if I was on my bike. Just a theory.
