Ah, the work expended by the human bean is indeed different!

Yeahbut, how much effort does it take that bean to push the go pedal a
little to zip up that incline at 65mph vs how much effort to push down
on the pedals of the bicycle repeatedly?
Meaning inclines you never notice in your car can become a big deal on
a bicycle. Its the long shallow inclines that get me. Stuff you don't
notice at all in the car but work you to death.

I would not think a physicist would argue that it takes more hp (work)
to move a human bean and a bicycle up a hill than a 2000 to 4000 lb
automobile with the same human bean. Distance being equal, grade being
equal, the hp required is directly related to the mass.
1 HP = 33,000 Ft-lb/min or 550 ft-lb/sec.

What Jim meant is that you notice the slope more on a bicycle. So a slope
one would judge to be flat in a car can definitely be a lot of non-flat
work on a bicycle.

Did he pedal here and back?
Bicycle, car, truck, or locomotive, percent grade is percent incline.
It is the same in a car as on a bicycle.

Flat, on a bicycle, is not the same as flat while in a car.
I work with a guy who did RAGBRAI last year. Takes a bit to get there from
WA.

True enough. I've driven from Des Moines to Jefferson to see LT Don
and not buy your old Quantum though, place is flat...

You have obviously never been on RAGBRAI.
Curt Raymond via Mercedes September 23, 2016 at 10:45 AM Wow, when a
flat state floods it REALLY floods.
We're still in drought conditions. We had some good rain a week ago
but we're still way down on water. My neighbor "found" two metal pipes
in his yard, the ground sank enough that the pipes now stick up.

The worst rain is again passin 100 miles N of us. That said, the radio
reports water up to 4' deep on all major 4 lane roads, one a US Highway,
another a former US highway before the highway bypassed the town. I
suspect that the major 4 lane restricted access roads will be closed
soon, if not already flooded.
One block south, there is flooding. Fortunately, we are 50' higher, so
no real floods here, but I can see the water is into the shed, so the
carport and garage will be flooded from surface runoff. another 12-15"
expected before morning.
100 miles N, they already had 15" and everything was flooded
yesterday. That is the cedar valley. Cedar Rapids is bracing for
another flood, but as of this morning, it ws not expected to be as bad
as the "1000 year flood" in 2008.
Judging by the "500 year" and "1000 year" floods I have seen and
survived, I forget how old I am. somewhere between 2500 years old and
5000 years old, I think. Maybe more...
