Incorrect old man. The majority of my time is spent alone and I usually pedal downhills, but even if I didn't, the extra time spent going up is much more of a penalty than the time saved coming down. I.e. For the same total work, you go slower going up and down a hill than if you covered the same distance on the flats.
