Reminds me of this. On a paceometer, cycling sits between walking and driving, even though driving is much faster in absolute terms.

Regular readers of this column will be familiar with my promoting an idea called a ‘Paceometer’. Rather than presenting speed in, say, miles per hour (distance/time), it presents speed the other way round, in minutes per ten miles (time/distance). Once you have seen a Paceometer, you will drive in a completely different way. Formula 1 drivers have learned the distinction intuitively: ‘It isn’t how fast you go, it’s how little you slow down.’ ✍️ Rory Sutherland Article | spectator.com/article/the-re…

(1/n) Look at the blue numbers in the image, its a "Paceometer" - it shows the time taken to cover 10 miles(or km) instead of miles per hour. Going from 20 to 30 saves you a massive 10 minutes. But pushing from 80 to 90? You save less than 1 minute. Video: youtube.com/shorts/DiiPufA3Y…

For those of you who have seem me present The Paceometer, my thanks to @CleaningUpPod for pointing out that the Rolex Daytona bezel is in fact a Paceometer in reverse. Annoyingly this one is £85K.

This is a paceometer. It shows that you gain more time at slower speeds. Faster roads gets you diminishing marginal returns.

In my last article, I introduced you to the ‘paceometer’, which shows how the relationship between an extra unit of speed and the consequent saving in journey time is anything but linear. For any given distance, the time saved by increasing your speed by an additional 10mph may be immense or almost irrelevant depending on how fast you are travelling already (accelerating from 5 to 15mph cuts 80 minutes off a ten-mile journey; accelerating from 60 to 70mph over the same distance saves little over a minute). ✍️ Rory Sutherland spectator.co.uk/article/the-…

I think if cars bought in NZ came with a paceometer ppl will realise how negligible time savings can be above 80kph (50mph)

V enjoyable #nudgestock – where @rorysutherland showed his speedometer/paceometer paradox. If you accelerate from 10mph to 20mph over 10miles, you save 10mins. If you accelerate 70mph to 80mph, you save 1min. 🧵

It's a question we pose in our book, including the 'paceometer' from Eyal Peer and Eyal Gamliel psycnet.apa.org/record/2013-…
