"Science of cycling still largely mysterious"
 This article from 2016 recently popped up again: https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/science-of-cycling-
still- mysterious-1.3699012

 As is the case with most issues, if I think I need to
know something I go about trying to learn it. I've
little time for learning about stuff I have no need to
know.

 Yep. So much for curiosity, so much for education...
Ignorance is bliss!

 No, ignorance would be when someone doesn't know something
they need to know.

 

 the irony of being ignorant of the definition of
ignorance.....
 Just for the edification of the floriduh dumbass - ignorance
is not predicated by need.

 Got it...  so, you're ignorant because you don't know how to
pilot a three masted sailing ship into port?

 Board the harbor pilot and secure the line from the tug, maybe?

Not if the sailing ship has an auxillary engine. While it is
possible to bring a three master to anchorage without an engine,
bringing it to a pier is a bit more complicated. I can and have done
both purely under sail but conditions have to be correct. Using an
auxullary motor makes it simple. You just drop sails and go where
you want to go.

Last week in New York was an excellent demonstration of "just drop sails and go where you want to go" ;-(
