No, no, you double it and add 30. You're 110 metric years old. But you can go 70 KM/h by that rule too, not bad for such a geezer.

It says 32 on the passports... have been bike-commuting for about 16 months now. Yes, I started just before winter - but then British winters are much gentler than their North American cousins, so weather wise it has not been too bad at all...
