Bikes: Custom commuter made from Civia Prospect frame, Raleigh Sports (1971), custom road bike from a steel 2003 Fuji Marseille frame, 29er SS MTB built up from a Vassago Jabberwocky frame, Surly Long Haul Trucker (customzed for fully loaded touring)

I don't know where Mikael got 15 Kph, but he would know. I suppose that might include all stops though, because that is a little slow for their cruising speed. For instance, the Copenhagen "green wave" in which all the lights are green if you bike a certain speed is set to work at about 20 kph (about 12 and a half mph). That seems to be the real speed that Copenhagen cyclists cruise about at, which is why the green wave is set that way and works.
