meh. i'm with sixtyfiver. twenty mile per hour commuters are not representative.
Maybe, just maybe, people can maintain those speed in the nd because of the quality separated path network? spare wheel seems to think his mischaracterization of traffic speeds attained by US bicyclists was inaccurate due to traffic trepidation, not ability.
now, that'd throw the forester damnation of path networks as inefficient for speedy cyclists right under the bus.
