All of which is irrelevant because the only reason bikes were even mentioned was to give you a point of comparison for the rate of his ascension. Only the order of magnitude matters.
And, anyway, Wikipedia helpfully explains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performance) that the average urban bicycling speed in at least one city is 9.8 mph. Not that that matters in any way.
- kazinator 12y agoYes, and then someone wrote, gee that number seems a little low for average bicycling speed, and it devolved into a bicycle speed discussion which is clearly irrelevant to the submitted article, just like a discussion about baseball if someone says "ball park figure". Nevertheless, 20% is significant in bicycle speeds. It's not the 20% which is making this whole thing irrelevant. :)
