I saw a tv piece by Jacques Yves Cousteau some time ago, on the dolphin's ability to manipulate its skin surface to improve its hydrodynamic efficiency and have been experimenting since then with doing the same with leg and arm hair to create a laminar flow effect.

After careful application of yogic follicular manipulational techniques while sitting on my turbo in front of a large fan, I can now adjust the said hair to reduce the drag factor by an estimated 6.3%. When I can reduce the percentage of neurons required to do this to less than 97%, I will attempt to do it while actually riding my bike. I expect great things when I manage to achieve this and will keep you all posted.

See you all in 2015
