Why 22 MPH? I get unstable biking standing up at speed above that.
I used a Treck Hybrid for this today. Total weight with Treck stem mounted bag is 38#.
Tires 700 x 38.
On smooth limestone trail.
No wind.
0 to 22 MPH in 20 seconds. (I have not the slightest idea if that is good or bad) Perhaps I can do better.
You know that it is common to talk about cars accelerating from 0 to some speed, so why not for a bike?
I will test this soon with my Treck Madone. That should be interesting.
Jppe, are you there? I think you would know this kind of data.
I think you need to find Robbie McEwen's, Alessandro Petacchi's, Thor Hushvold's, Erik Zabel's or Tom Bonnen's email address to properly answer this question. And an edit--"Fast Freddie."
