On a road bike a 10 can easily hit 20-30mph
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about if you're seriously suggesting a 10yo could actually hit 30mph. Get tf out of here
I live in an area with a huge mountain. I used to ride my road bike up the mountain for 15 miles. Then after the summit I would ride back down. I have hit speeds of 50mph on my carbon fiber road bike. Anyone could hit that speed on the right downhill. Another cyclist died going down that same mountain because he had a blow out going 50 mph.
On a road bike? Just about any 10 year old on a slight decline.
