Rather than spending more time at 13 mph than at any other speed, that winning speed was 16 mph! Yeah! And I spend a good amount of time at 15 and 17 mph, too.
Vroom vroom! 16 mph average is as good as it gets for me in general. I don't want to kill myself barreling through intersections like a dude did this morning on a track bike without brakes. He had a nice Cinelli aluminum frame with bullhorn handlebars. But I would need to have brakes on it if it were mine...
