50 is literally faster than Tour de France pros maintain on flat ground. A regular person on a normal bike will have a hard time even doing 30.

Thanks for pointing that out.. Maybe 35km/h is a more reasonable ceiling.

The reason I mentioned this number is because I found this article of some Norwegian middle aged woman saying she is reaching 50km/h explaining something with the speed limit of bicycles in Norway.

However she meant that she reaches that speed downhill, which makes sense..
