30+ mph! Thats tour de france velocity with a lot of kinetic energy (albeit still less than a car at 10mph I think).

- palunon 10y agoWell, an 80 kg cyclist+bicycle system at 30mph has about 7 000 joules of kinetic energy. A 1 ton car at 10 mph has 9 000 joules of kinetic energy, so about 30% more.
