Another problem is that fast bicyclists go 10 mph and slow cars go 30 mph. I’m backing the mayor.

With all due respect, you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.

I can ride 20 to 25 mph on the flats, and I’m nowhere near the level of performance of a really good cyclist.

Geez, tricycles can go 10mph.

Normal riders go 12 to 15mph. Someone with a normal road bike easily can average 20-24mph.

I average 25-27 on a 50 mile ride.

Racers can exceed 40 average in a peloton.

Huh, I can do 10mph on my mountain bike through tight corners in the trees. Cruising speed on a road bike is easily 20mph. With a fit rider even faster. I know a guy who did the Hotter than Hell 100 in 5 hours and 15 minutes when he was 70 years old. That’s just under a 20mph average for a senior citizen on a 100 mile ride.
