I'm super comfortable at 50, even 55...

... but beyond that, my progression has slowed. The wind buffeting and the lack of power abouve 55, especially on an incline, make me feel that this is not an appropriate vehicle for CA freeways (avg speed ~80.) I 've had it north of 60 for a bit, but it feels like an Apollo liftoff or the like. Not super comfortable, and I wonder about braking and handling at that speed. (I just wonder about it, I don't attempt it.)

If I stick with riding, I'll be getting something beefier for the freeways.
