Yeah. But one problem is that, unless you install an emergency brake on your bike and use it when you lean it against a pole, the bike takes off on its own. 11 watts isn't much but, in the time it takes to grab a cup of coffee, your beloved wheels will be out in traffic and halfway across town!

And, of course, if you've got a tailwind, the negative drag actually sucks you backwards, leading to control problems.
