Oppressive! They don't seem to give a hoot around here as long as you don't create a hazard in traffic. If there is a car around with anything like a right-of-way issue, I'll always stop. Otherwise mostly not... except maybe where there's a big intersection where it's a long way across.
As to the OP's question, I believe I went about 29 miles once without touching the ground. I don't think about it much since only moving time really properly counts in average speed calculations.
