The real question is how fast do you go when you are on a flat road? Again I am slower than many here. When I am just taking it easy, and not in a hurry, I used to cruise at around 15 kph. However, I have lost some fat, and gained some fitness. I now cruise at around 20 kph when I am just taking it easy, and not in a hurry. I am strong enough to go fast, but only for a short time. I am not as fit as some.
To all the other fat challenged people out there. Don't worry if you are not as fast as others. Just work on getting fitter.
The real question is: Does enjoyment of bicycling require obsessing over or boasting about speed, mileage and/or so-called
fitness ?
