    And while 70mph seems excessive by any standard, you can easily achieve 40mph with a normal bike downhill and injure/maim/kill yourself.

      As mentioned in other comments, the 70mph figure is wrong. My best guess is the parent misspoke and the journalist didn’t fact check, but the real figure is 70km/h or 45 mph.
