    You can get to that speed on a regular bicycle with gears on a flat without much training/conditioning (though sustaining it can take effort lol)

      Oh, come on now. 50 km/h on flat without much training? For what, a few seconds?

      These two guys are ex pros and couldn’t average 50km/h with high end bikes, on flat terrain, while drafting.

      My point is, giving your average Joe, who may not have the skill or experience to be at those speeds, “effortless” power to sustain those speeds is problematic in bike lanes.

        I hope you feel the same about cars…
