I'm not good with formul-a, or even formul-b. Be a sport and just use
Fred's data to show everyone how it's done.

Sorry, I didn't understand the strings of numbers and what they mean
or their units, etc. - I guess it's supposed to fit some template that
serious bicycle racers all know and use when they get tired of
"training".
If I was racing, and wanted to win races, I just wouldn't coast hardly
at all - except on the steeper descents.

FOAS mentioned the units earlier in the post. I like the strings of
numbers because they're easier to ignore than a single number.

I was responding to he that be Jute, but I don't think FOAS is looking
to win races on his commuter. I think he's asking for assistance in
his exercise in futility. ;) As if no one else here has ever done
that.

It's okay. I'm sure you've found an equally slippery way around that
pesky transfer of momentum thing. ;)

Actually, no, I was looking for entertainment. Maybe assistance in my
entertainment but that sounds kind of sordid and, now that I think of it,
intriguing.
Anyway, I already calculated the CdA and Crr from these data.

Your CdA is 0.36 m^2 ( +/- 0.09 or so), your Crr is 0.0065,
and the maximum slope on the course is 0.00 or 0%, although
I don't know how you expected anyone to calculate it to
0.1% with data of this quality.

Killjoy. There are lots of problems with the data (as I noted) but if we
take them as given you get an exact solution for CdA and Crr, and for the
slopes. I just meant that I didn't need to see a number for slope
like -4.1234567%.

I didn't mean that as an insult to the data. It seems about
as good as one should expect to get with bicycle-computer
type instrumentation and in the presence of real world
effects (small but variable wind, etc).

"Exact solution"
I don't know what this term means [*],
can you explain it further?
[*] in the context of fitting a model to data that include
real world effects: wind, digitization noise, etc.
The way I did it is probably not ideal (differentiating and
integrating the velocity time series); it's not explicitly
fitting a model, although there is a model implied of
course. It yields a large number of noisy estimates
of CdA which have to be averaged over to get a value
and error estimate, which IMO is more useful than an
exact solution. Presumably any method that yields a
single number should then allow you to calculate
residuals off the model, from which an error estimate
could be backed out, in some non-trivial way.

Encourage commuters?! What, are you nuts? FOAS' bike probably has
_fenders_!
Besides, you're the one with the formul-A. The Pope never misses a
chance to pontificate, I figured you'd be the same. :)~
The only times I ran were when a coach was yelling at me or I was
being chased. Numbers are like that - I only touch them under
duress. They're antiquated and unnecessary in a modern world.
If I need to go faster I buy a new bike. The carbon fiber gremlins do
the calculations for me. It's a formul-A, but it works!

No problem. It's the only reason I posted it.
Now, for a more realistic prediction, I'm guessing the marriage lasts
about...five to six years and she'll take half the money. If he'd
married his longtime childhood sweetheart, the marriage would have
probably lasted...no. Who am I kidding? He's still just a weasel. A
fast weasel.

Reality is an illusion caused by alcohol deficiency.

reality and shadows projectile-vomiting on the walls, or something
like that.

That is a quote mark, not a pair of postrophe. It should read:
"I"ve been traveling...
Which is an inverted from of The Royal We. That is Anton's way of
letting us know that he has company...or his multiple personalities
are back.

Papp can sell dope to anyone he damn well pleases, except
