Really? I must be thinking of something totally different than you.

I rented a nice Trek hybrid bike, and did about 10-12 mph. Sitting upright and the saddle positioning slowed me down. On a good mountain bike I do about 17. On a good road bike I do about 21.

21mph on a bike where I sit up straight isn't gonna happen.
