Yogi,

But a Danish physicist and her team of collaborators have found a way to slow light down to about 38 miles an hour, a speed exceeded by a strong bicyclist.

As I have considered myself a good cyclist at times in my life,I had to laugh at the comparison. Greg LeMonde in his remarkable win at the Tour de France won the final time trial at a blistering pace of about 33 mph over approximately 50 miles. (If memory serves)

I would need a substantial hill to exceed 38 mph for more than a brief moment. <gasp>

-Robert
