Lower gear on a car gives more power, so does using lower gear on a mt. bike.
Higher gear on a car gives more speed, but so does a higher gear on the bike.
BUT…
Down-shifting on a car gives you engine-brake, on a bike up-shifting gives you pedal-brake.
SO
You down-shift on the car to give you braking force, but you down-shift on a bike AFTER you do some braking.
AND
You down-shift on a downslope to have traction while driving, but you up-shift to give you tauter pedaling.
Just some weird ideas that come to me while I cycle. It will be more accurate to use “I” for all the “you” written above.
THATS WHY MAYBE
You will feel more DRAG upshifting LATER in the car, but feel more so upshifting QUICKLY on your bike.
SUM UP…
Airbags may tell you STOP thinking about gears too much while driving, but an ENDO will tell you stop thinking about gears while cycling.
CONCLUSION
Switch to automatic transmission for your car, and switch back to a single gear BMX for your bike.
This will be a “FACT” after the “THESIS” of my “HYPOTHESIS” is accepted.
Discard these instructions of my prescription before side effects develop.
