We do wear bike helmets and generally long sleeves when going for a ride but... While these are capable of going 28 mph I rarely want to do that. We typically cruise in 4th of 7 gears with minimum pedal assist. When climbing we downshift and ramp up the pedal assist so we can crest the climb easily but never really going very fast.
Just like canyon carving, it's important to know your personal limits and stay within them. The most fun riding is catching a loop bike trail around a lake or out to a destination for lunch. Avoid car traffic, avoid riding over your head, and live to ride another day.
