Vancouver's city council has voted unanimously to reduce the speed limit on local streets to 30 kilometres per hour, down from the provincially mandated 50 kilometres per hour.
On a mountain bike tire maybe, but a roadbike tire and dual chain ring and cassette, if you aren’t a kid or senior you can easily do 30km/h and sustain it. Downhill sections I have seen 55-60 km/h on my bike computer, and that is with little effort because my front end gets twitchy when the grade is steep and speed is that high

I was thinking more relaxed, city streets, stop signs every block. Average speed.
True, but If you have been to Vancouver you’d know that cyclists don’t stop at stop signs :)
I can throw a rock and hit Vancouver!
Mind I’d have to walk a few minutes first.
Even with rolling stops, my tracking usually puts me around 20, 25 if I hustle a bit.
What tires are you running on?
