The Iowans probably drive everywhere at 80mph.

The Californians are more likely to be driving 75. That doesn't make much difference over a 20-minute trip.

It does when you aren't stuck in traffic at the start and end of your trip.

Santa cruzian here: I don’t, the views and the weather are too nice to rush and put yourself in danger. Besides you’d probably just be rushing into traffic most days.

Speed limit is between 55 and 80 depending on the type of road anywhere that isn’t a town in Iowa. It’s perfectly safe.

[mattnewton]

Yeah, Iowa is flat and the people probably know how to drive in inclement weather. Just saying people here shouldn’t be going that fast :)

Iowa is not flat. It's not the Rockies, of course, but it's got a lot more hills than you'd think.

Try biking across it. I have and it ain't flat.
