Let see:
A foot race sprinter is at about 27 MPH after 2 seconds.
(I saw the 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 & 90 meter split times for a World Record race)
An Ice speedskater does 100 meters in about the same time as a foot race. But starts much slower and is going about 10 MPH faster at the 200 meter point.
The foot racers maxium speed is that 27 MPH and the speedskaters is 37 MPH.
So, I guess that the speedskater reaches 22 MPH in about 6 or 7 seconds.
A bike should be faster than a speedskater but slower than a foot racer.
