I do believe a commuter could go that fast though. I remember last summer I was climbing a long moderate grade on my hybrid with no gear going at about 12 mph. Well a guy passed me wearing one of those huge camping backpacks, he went by so fast I thought I was standing still. I know he was going over 20. When he passed he spoke and smiled like he wasn't even breathing hard. I believe that their are good athletes out there who just don't have the aspiration to do their sport full time. Maybe Cigtech likes his regular job, home and all that stuff and doesn't want to compete.
