The bike that was stolen was a giant Boulder SE mountain bike. There was maybe 10mph difference between that and my road-ish bike. Maybe it's the way I bike though.... I use two gears. 27 for most everything and 18 for the steep hills.
I don't know about this. I can average close to 20 MPH on my MTB on the highway. This is with knobby tires and of course varies with conditions. People can average 35 mph on the road??
