I find I have no problem getting away at the front at lights and
my bike is pretty ordinary.

How is that relevant?

No pedalling like mad or praying required.

The performance of a human-propelled vehicle is somewhat dependent
on the performance of the propellor.

Human standing start performance is much better than an ICE with a ton of
metal for most values of human power. And that's all you need to get out
of the way starting at lights.

Ah, so you hadn't bothered to read my description of that junction, then.
