In my commute that has already been the case for some time.

It can be just as quick to cycle to work as it is to drive on my commute... my route is a bit shorter as it goes over a footbridge (shared use) and there's no traffic lights to hinder my progress. I often see colleagues in cars near the start of my commute in the morning and we'll arrive at work within a minute of each other. The evening shifts are a different ball game though... Zoshia lives close to me and sets off at 5.20pm to get to work for 6pm. I set off at 5.50pm.

Surely the car and the cyclist have to go at the same speed for that to work?

Yup. I was just having a dig at the news stories where the cyclist achieves an incredibly high top speed, and then you read it was because they were behind a wind breaking car.

I didn't know cars broke wind. Is that why their exhausts smell so bad?
