As a non-scientist my reckoning was that in order to move a bike you have to put a load into the tyre,wheel and frame.If you ride by simply pushing down on the pedal at some point this loading is undone(at the end of the downstroke and before the commencement of the downstroke of the other pedal).So much of the energy is wasted re-loading the bike.

I use clip-ins and try to concentrate on applying even pressure all around the turn of the crank so as to avoid "un-loading" and wasting energy

You're so right, Maintain momentum - don't let it slow down.

I knew there was a much simpler way of explaining it!

Nuns DO have a sense of humour.

For instance:-

A pervert flashed two Nuns in the park. One had a stroke...

But the other couldn't reach.
