If you're not on a road bike, and you're riding 30+ minutes, I doubt you're going that fast. You can, but you're going to arrive sweaty and tired.
People just don't ride that fast on non e-bikes here in the Netherlands, not normally.
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoWhereas in the US, road bikes are the norm for adults and are typically ridden around 30kph on open road. For many of the riders, sweaty and tired is the whole point: conditioning. They may take it easy on the way to work (only 20kph) but they'll go flat-out on the way home. It's why we're so obsessive about helmets, where the rest of the world isn't.
- sudosysgen 5y agoI was not on a road bike, I was on a hybrid or MTB. Sweat was an issue, but you get used to it and it stops being tiring
