I routinely break 30MPH on my regular unjuiced legs. I do understand how the fact that ebikes can readily and easily break that speed in any conditions leads to them doing it regularly thus making them a greater risk to themselves and bystanders. But it still always strikes me as a little funny or ironic how they need a license in many places to do that while I do it all the time for free, and how the conversation over safe streets often revolves around how to manage them, while meanwhile cars in my country continue to kill 125+ people every day.
Are regular cyclists allowed to ride faster than 30MPH?
If the posted speed is >30mph and you juiced your legs like Armstrong, then I guess, at least here, it’s fair game.
Large groups of cyclists can go between 40 and 50kph on a level road, so if they go downhill then sure.
