If you look at the graph I did maintain that speed for short intervals. Even hitting that speed in the first place is sort of unbelievable, let alone maintaining it long enough to look at drivers next to me on the highway and snicker at the look on their face as they drove alone guide me.
I guess I just don't understand your point though.
There were unusual weather conditions, I kept pace with highway traffic numerous times, and I had a blast doing it. I doubt that I could do it again unless the stars and the moon align just right, but it was fun while it lasted.
According to a friend of mine who is into hot air balloons, he says there dis absolutely no wind when you are in a balloon (because you are travelling with the wind) and the same applies to riding a bicycle with a tail wind. You know if if there is zero breeze in your face.
I can appreciate that you find it hard to believe that I even hit this speed, but I can;t appreciate why you are having such hard time interpreting my post.
If you need some science, I found this and ran some conservative numbers for a weak little guy like me with twiggy legs.
While you twist this thread around, I'm off to do something fun.
