is this stupid? The bike is pretty new..i think it will be ok, but it would sure be a bummer to wipe out at 40mph
I hit low to mid 40's regularly when riding the hills of Southern Ohio. Getting nervous is a good thing, it means your senses are in a higher state of awareness and you are concentrating more on the task at hand.
