is this stupid? The bike is pretty new..i think it will be ok, but it would sure be a bummer to wipe out at 40mph
"To fast" is when you overdrive your brakes and the design limits of your frame. It's stupid
to "speed" when you don't know these limits. Remember, your skull isn't designed for much
past walking speed.
