Ah, i'd shamelessly filtered to near the front, and then found that

I find I have no problem getting away at the front at lights and
my bike is pretty ordinary.


How is that relevant?


No pedalling like mad or praying required.


The performance of a human-propelled vehicle is somewhat dependent on the
performance of the propellor.
