I think I'd be afraid to go that fast on a bicycle--you are just too exposed! A crash could easily be fatal! wow! :shock:

How'd e get past the secret service?


So if George ripped his ***** off, maybe he doesn't even need the secret service!

Just like a sportbike motorcycle. At 68 on a mountian bike I am suree you would feel no pain. It would be over real fast.

I am curious on what kind of gearing she is running. Even with a 53x11 on a road bike, a really high cadence will only put you slightly over 50mph. 68mph is flying. They normally don't even hit 60 mph in the TdF.

What would anyone be doing worrying about the fatality of a crash at 68mph wearing spandex shorts? Given the amount of road rash you'd have, it would be a mercy killing!

Oh, wait, I'm sorry...are you afraid of death because you're an atheist or because massive, life-long skin grafts are OK with you? OK, it's a bad attempt at humor, but it sounded funny in my head.

I didnt know that you could get a speeding ticket on a bike.



I live in a private neighborhood where the posted speed is 20mph. We have some pretty big hills where I can hit in the mid 30's. Can I still get a speeding ticket if I still live in a private neighborhood??(the cops do drive through here about every other day.)

Thanks,

The answer is yes, you can get a ticket. If the cops are in there patrolling, then they can enforce any local laws..... But they probably don't have their radar guns out/active unless there have been complaints of speeders in the area.
