Anyone ever tried pedalling their bicycle to 35mph and keeping that speed?
Broke a sweat? That's because aero drag doesn't start above 35mph, it's already there at lower speeds.

When I made my Kammback, the first time I noticed a substantial increase in coasting distance was at city speeds of 40-50 km/h (25-30mph).
