Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That sounds about right. Red is usually good for at least 3.2 mph increase.

I've got a set of yellow "Tyler Hamilton special editions". You just don't get any faster than that.
