I wasn't worried about them - I just can't imagine my wife allowing me to go that fast with her on the back where she has limited visibility and no control. I would have sore ribs to show for it!
The road was smooth, wide and virtually free of any cars so it wasn't unsafe by any means; it is just rare to ever reach 50 mph on a bicycle...
