    It is an absurd statement to argue that the average cyclist on the average bike can sprint to over 30mph “without much trouble.” Maybe with a tailwind going downhill, and even that is, ahem, dangerous.

      I hit 20 downhill and that’s already really uncomfortably fast. Pulling hard on my brakes that would take a good 5 seconds to come to a stop (Power modulator Roller Brakes)

      Going 30 is asking for trouble, even with good disc brakes I think. At that speed full body motorcycle kit could be something worth considering

      Edit: fix typo
