You see in this part of Canada we have an interesting phenomenon where you actually get propelled towards certain directions, it starts at about Red Deer and focuses itself at Commonwealth stadium. If you're heading from anywhere in the greater Edmonton area, the sucking effect it noticeable.

They had one of these up for the longest time in a school zone, unfortunately, it was on a significant uphill, i sweated blood to break 20 kph...
The fastest I've gone was down Sinclair Canyon into B.C. 77 kph (48 mph ) I had one front pannier on, it started a speed wobble..............
One couple on a tandem I know hit
at least 100 kph on the same downhill, ( speedo maxes out at 99kph ) thats 62 mph,
at least. Wife had speedo on rear bars, couldn't hit husband because it would distract him....at the time....
