It's about aerodynamics far more so than gearing. Bikes are aerodynamically dirty.



Anyway, to answer the original question, I usually give em a smirk & a wink and say "sixty fiiiiiive.... but I've done 150+ on the track". I don't really think it's all that retarded of a question.

And if people ask me to wheelie, given that the environment is safe, I have no problem lifting the front wheel for em. It's fun for me & fun for them, so why not?
