A cars power is measured in horse power right, and an average cyclist probably has under half a HP right?

Well if we measured in rabbits, or dogs, or something similar, how much RP or DP would we have? I for one would feel better knowing I have like 5RP, as opposed to 0.5HP.

Thanks
Will.

    i believe a man power is exactly half a horse power .... as for rabbit power I would say rabbits are about 1 tenth a man power but dogs come in too many variety's to get an accurate reading .................
