Agree.
Can't see how anyone would disagree

I've made perfectly appropriate comparisons, and you are pretty stupid.

In the best shape of my life I averaged 14 on my hybrid, lol. I’m talking long rides. 30 mph average? Damn son...fat knobbies yo.

By your logic, the child deserves to die

Yup, when I was a young buck and riding every day, I couldn't even do that. That's like saying any guy that has run to the mailbox could keep up with Usain Bolt

I mean, I hit 22 in a sprint on my hybrid, and that bike was slow.
Sprinting at 19-20 was nothing on it when I was in better shape. I can't imagine I couldn't have sprinted near 30 on a road bike.

Those first 2 are good comparisons.

There's a big difference between a sprint and "just cruising 30-35 on the highway"

You're the stupid bitch that thinks a cyclists estate should be sued by the owner of the car that was damaged by killing a cyclist.

Get bikes off da fricking road. Simple as that.

Depends on the tires, the terrain, the frame what kind of shape you are in . I had a route that was just under 30 miles on an old hybrid with knobby tires and in shape it took about two hours plus. I had a road bike in Colorado that I could sprint on at high speed but nowhere near a 30 mph average on terrain . A century ride in Boulder county Usually took 5-7 hours . Then I was never much of an athlete.But I rode almost every day for ten years.

After you said bikes cruise at 30-35 on the road, I came back and said that typical speeds are an unsafe 15-20 (which they are). You then said this
Thanks for changing your statement from a speed almost no one in South LA will hit, to a cruising speed almost no one in the country could keep up, to now a more reasonable statement of sprinting speed.
Eta: You can continue on with whatever argument you're trying to make, but the moral of the story is that Amoroso stupidly rode on that highway and got himself killed. He shouldn't have been on it with a bike. I don't even like riding on it with a four wheeler
quote:To which, I replied that riding a road bike isn't a sprint, and that there is a very small amount of people that can keep up 30 on flat ground. Anyone can sprint faster than they can cruise. I haven't ridden in almost 15 years, and I'd bet I could out-sprint you. That doesn't mean that I can keep up that speed as a pace.
A good rider on a road bike should be able to cruise near 30

You sure are stuck on semantics here.

My point is that you and most people in Louisiana will make this the story, and not that an irresponsible driver killed a man that was acting lawfully.
This is the kind of attitude that holds Louisiana well below the baseline.
