I'm on a high tensile hydroform steel 2012 Felt MP bicycle and it's rock solid stable at close to 80 KPH .......if the road is smooth. It weighs about 120 lbs with everything bolted to it. Only broke 1 spoke so far with over 3500 miles on it and I ride it like a bat out of **** most of the time. LOL
At night it can be like playing Russian Roulette cause I can't always see everything in or on the road cause my bike is suspension-less in the back and the tire is at 60 PSI. I've done 90 mile round trips on it though. LOLI'm afraid my bat outa **** days are pretty much behind me. Before I got all busted
up I used to ski 80 mph, but snow's more forgiving than asphalt. I do occasionally
indulge in a 40 mph adrenalin boost. That's plenty for this brittle old man.
when I was a kid I had a 20 inch bike that I modified and made it where I could cruse pedling at 25 mph and I could get it upto 45 mph pedeling ya I was a speed freak on a bike not like other kids doing tricks jumping and so on now im an adult and wanting to put a motor on my bike hmmmm can u say a kid agine lol
I hear that, Bill. Raised in the Colorado high country, I had lots
of steep hills to race. Once I was tearing down Independence
Pass,(12,000 ft+), when I discovered the limits of what a bike
can do. I'm pretty sure I hit 50+ when my front wheel flew off
in protest. I slid over 100 ft and then just lay there for a minute.
"Hmm, no pain; I must be in shock"
I got up. My leather shirt was shredded, but I didn't have a mark
on me. Found my wheel stuck in some brush, bolted it back on,
and rode the rest of the way down into Aspen....slowly.
