How often do you sprint over uneven terrain? Or do you just ride your bike very slowly? Bike speeds > 20km/h are normal and easily achievable for the untrained

How often do you sprint over uneven terrain? Or do you just ride your bike very slowly?
Bike speeds > 20km/h are normal and easily achievable for the untrained on flat ground. Downhill, you'll quickly go past 30km/h. This isn't something that you're doing while running for longer periods of time while you're still half-asleep.
Helmets annoy me too, but "the fastest runners can peak at speeds higher than what I reach every other day on my bike and they don't wear helmets" is a weird argument.
- quicklime 4y agoI ride my bike slowly around my local neighbourhood, often on shared paths with pedestrians. This is usually under 20 km/h, probably under 15, or even less when it’s busy. For rides where I go faster, I will take my road bike and wear a helmet. For rides where I go slower, I would prefer not to wear a helmet, but mandatory helmet laws don’t make that distinction.
