I dropped my wallet once in the middle of a busy area, and no one picked it up for 5 hours.  I came back and it was on the ground where I dropped it.

What I am saying is that, assuming reasonable bearings like you'd find on any reasonable bike, rolling resistance has more to do with tires. Spinning the wheel in air says almost nothing about rolling resistance. As for the car analogy, try spinning a (non drive) wheel on your car when it's jacked up, it won't spin at all because the brake calipers are always touching. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lens42]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2010 9:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hama Zero's Solar Bike Fujin runs thanks to the sun, not on it (video)]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/hama-zeros-solar-bike-fujin-runs-thanks-to-the-sun-not-on-it/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/hama-zeros-solar-bike-fujin-runs-thanks-to-the-sun-not-on-it/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not much use in a big city downtown where bikes are welcome alternatives to heavy traffic.
