Know what I mean?

the story says it took 2-1/2 hours. That's a 2 mph average.
Most people could not WALK 5 miles in 2-1/2 hours.
They must have had lots and lots of long downhill sections where they jumped on and rode.


Note that it says 5 miles, but in the little caption on the right it was 5km.

HMMMM, maybe we are on to something here .......


See that;s what happens when you go all metric. Everything gets screwed up.
Who knows, maybe they were talking about IMPERIAL miles?

Average walking speed (assuming you're walking and not staring at your phone is 4 mph (but that's a pretty decent walk). So I could easily walk 5 miles in 75 mins (not while pushing a car).

Still, yeah, 5 km vs 5 mi, big difference (3 mi vs 5 mi)

I could maybe see 3 teens (those 3?) pushing car fast enough to do it in 2.5 hours.
