The average speed of the tour de france winners now is only about 25mph and that is very heavily drug assisted;)

Given this I can't really take your statement as a serious one:)
- baddox 13y agoI agree that 25mph is unreasonable for the average cyclist, but to be fair, aren't the Tour de France speeds averaged over a much greater distance?
- maxerickson 13y ago25 mph up a hill is fast, but the tour de France is a silly comparison, they sustain those speeds for 4 hours at a time, commuters aren't going to do that. Commuters also rarely face anything resembling the climbs in the tour.
- chollida1 13y agoTrue but on the other side most commuters aren't going for speed, or using great bikes, or proper shoes so I think the expectation would be that the tour de france winner would still average a much faster time than a commuter.
