Hi,
    I think the correlation is called by Apple "Think Different". As to
bikes, I used to do close to 1,000 miles a week in England & there was a
law that made it illegal to sell a bike without front & rear lights; but
don't know if it is still in force; & mudguards.
    Cars - We do about 30,000 Kms on one, 25000 on the other vehicle,
probably much less now that Marg has retired. Both cars do over 30 MPG
one close to 40 & they are relatively large.
    My leaf blower is mostly used as a leaf vacuum which also mulches at
12 to 1, making for more efficient composting, the latter I've been
doing for over 50 years. Mine makes about 1/2 the noise of the gas ones
& doesn't emit fumes.
TTFN,
TeeC
