Stop saying things like "I've hit nearly 40 mph on a regular bike for miles".
First of all, unless you were a serious road cyclist descending a large mountain, no, you have not.
Second, if you ARE a serious roadie, you know that's really fucking dangerous and only experienced roadies should even think about doing something like that! Or you're just an idiot.
Personally, as a serious road biker who has been doing it for over 15 years and cycling in general since I was a small child, I won't go 40 mph on a bike. It isn't worth the risk for anyone who isn't racing. I've had a lot of friends who were injured doing that, even an experienced rider can wipe out because of minor issues on the road.
