even at my strongest I had a hard time going 30 mph on a flat with no wind. I’d need to be super tucked and pedaling way hard. hell id have a hard time maintianing 30 on slight declines…
You’d have to getout there with a speedometer to know if you’re really putting out that kind of effort.
even 25 mph on a windless flat is hard work.
kinda like the “nautilus” weight machines. they have weight markingson them, but they bear no real resemblance to how much wieight a person could actually lift.
in the real world, 30 mph invovles feeling like there is a lot of wind blowing at you. unless you have a tailwind, which never actually happens, as cuyclists invariably seem to be headed into the wind.
