I go at that speed on my road bike under my own power with teeny tiny tyres to reduce drag. By comparison this thing is safer since it has disk brakes and larger tires.

Yeah road bike riding is absolutely what I want to avoid though. Suppose it’s personal preference but I hate those tiny tires. I’ve hit a curve + gravel/loose asphalt and had my front wheel slide sideways causing me to lay the bike down at full speed. Back in my BMX days I had a friend lose his top lip like this and I was riding right next to him (it got sewn back on). And I’m just a casual rider now a days. I’m not a commuter or sport rider, just gets me outside on a nice day. So I am taking in my surroundings and not necessarily 100% focused on the road.
