Comment on Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane?
Eideen@lemmy.world 1 year ago25 km/h (15miles/h) is slow. A racing bicycle will without sweet do 40-50 km/h.

Even your own source disagrees with you 😂
I think you’re looking at the numbers for the top 0.1% of cyclists in the world when they’re competing…

The average is still faster than the speed being discussed, so I don’t think their point is entirely wrong
li10@feddit.uk 1 year ago
It’s marginally slower to the point that it doesn’t matter.
It’s not 100% slower like they were claiming, so I think their point is entirely wrong…

I am talking about what DrMoronicAcid said not what Eideen said, just to be clear.

What is a amateur?, with my crappy mountain bike I can do 30-35km/h on flat ground, for 30min comfortable, And still get passed by people on race bikes.

Do you have a computer telling you that speed or are you just making a guess? Because I find it unrealistic to be +30 kph on flat ground with a mountain bike for 30 minutes.
I say this because I have a gravel bike and can only keep +30kph for long periods if I’m on a slight incline and I’m pedaling with a purpose (not full sprint, but you wouldn’t see a commuter pedal that hard)
On average people in commuting bikes will most likely be at around 15kph, low 20s on descents.

On descents it easy, I do up to 50km/h.
