Is energy conserved if you're a professional bike racer riding a bike on a
velodrome while it's raining with no slip pedals?

Under those conditions you need to be very careful as you
will continue accelerating until you reach 99.9% of the
speed of light. You will then have almost infinite mass
(probably only slightly more than a typical fatty master).
As a corollary you will also break the hour record.


Pedal synchronization will get you the other 0.1%
