50-65 p&g on the open road, so average maybe 55 cruising speed. Speed limits varied from 55 to 70.

Of course, an aerocivic could do the same at higher speed or even better at the same speed. So could a bike for that matter. My daily routes are low speed so I don't see much value in major aeromods. I'll go a little slower when I do make a highway trip, but even then "slower" is relative.
