My partner, Katherine and I have established a close friendship for a few years. The scenario is that she enjoys trying to keep up with my car, while she is on her bicycle.
I was driving downhill on a 6% grade of a 6 kilometres straightaway at a leisurely 70 km/h. As I glanced in my rear-view mirror, I was amazed that she was actually keeping pace with me.
Now, my main concern is rather she was riding at a reasonably safe speed. How safe is her road bicycle at 70 km/h (43 mph)?
