I've always wondered about this!
In my everyday experience I've always noticed a difference in this effect between:
1) my normal home<>work commute (15 minutes by bike)
I don't feel a discernible difference in the time it takes (maybe because the trip to work is downhill and effectively shorter than the return home, which is uphill. the difference in speed compensating for the effect maybe?)
2) a holiday trip (100-200 Km by car)
Here I definitely always feel the return trip to be much shorter
- Vraxx 11y agoI wondered about my return trip while commuting on a bike and later used a device to track speed, location, etc while riding and found that it was actually about 6 minutes shorter because it was slightly downhill most of the way (but not noticeable) and I was travelling faster for the duration.
- glaberficken 11y agoyeah definitely, non flat terrain, trips by bike are not the best to measure this effect =)
