"Dude", i'm a top heavy out of shape pretend cyclist who just finished a short hour long ride (in which i think i may have actually been in the first stages of a bad dehydration) and because of this thread, on the final stretch of flat road, from a red light, hit 31.5mph into a headwind...
I'm pretty sure anyone with any amount of experience would have no issues hitting 35mph or above...and anyone with any sort of experience on a bike is not likely going to question that if they use their noggin.
