You were absolutely not “rolling along.” It was either mostly downhill or you were working pretty hard, as those are cat-3 race speeds. The vast majority of people can’t sustain those speeds, and most of those who can know how to behave and have the skills to actually ride at that level.
The entire problem with these e bikes is that anyone can got off the couch and ride far beyond their actual skill level.
You’re missing the point. The comment I replied to said that anything above 20 mph should be regulated. I was pointing out that I can apparently do that, and therefore apparently should be regulated. I actually know a number of cyclists that can do that, come to think of it.
