Huh? Asphalt IS a cement derived from crude oil.

Furthermore, there have never been any roads built comprised primarily
of either asphalt or Portland cement.

Forget about the lowracer. You will annoy everyone else on windy days
when they are struggling against the wind, while you are in the zone
where the wind is greatly slowed by viscous drag along the boundary with
the ground.

To equalize the results, add a 2M vertical mast with a decorative flag
of about 1 square meter area. If anyone looks askance, claim it's for
safety reasons. (It is poor sportsmanship to deploy a spinnaker when
running before a stiff tailwind, BTW.)

On a very windy spring day, I was on a group ride on a recumbent with a
front fairing [1]. When we turned to ride parallel to the wind, I was
able to "sail" along the flats at 17-18 mph without pedaling, much to
the annoyance of the upright cyclists.

That was not really the point.

pulling a single post from 2000ad and citing it to prop up the
misleading myth title is very convincing to some, I guess...but is
meaningless when placed alongside the the body of contrary
documentation I have come across over many many years. you might try
experimenting with fasting a few days and breaking that with foods and
drinks of varying glycemic index values to gain a more comprehensive
and insightful knowledge of misleading myths than a single post and
citation could ever provide
