True, but If you have been to Vancouver you'd know that cyclists don't stop at stop signs :)

I can throw a rock and hit Vancouver!

Mind I'd have to walk a few minutes first.

Even with rolling stops, my tracking usually puts me around 20, 25 if I hustle a bit.

What tires are you running on?

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

The kind you pump air into? Less nobbly than mountain bike tires, not as thin as road bike tires. The type of tire is the bike shop's problem.

I mean for speed, the type of tire affects your rolling friction

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I guess. Why do I want to go faster?

? Amnesia maybe. Original comment I replied to was you said 30-35 on a bike was not possible and maybe on downhill, and that you averaged 20 km/h. 30 is easily a steady pace on smooth narrower tires. That's how we got here LOL
