Open area - so there are no blind spots.
No junctions, no kids, no dogs, no people at all - or i'm staying under 25mph
No cars - i don't do roads
Uphill is fine, but no headwind - i sit upright and can have to lean all my torso-weight against the air over 40mph as it is.
Lumps, bumps, loose gravel, broken glass, water etc is fine, but no wet leaves - the fat tyres ride onto them, spreading the load instead of cutting through, can get a bit squirmy.
But most of all, no excessive speed - when you're on a comfortable bike, being sat up and cruising at around 20mph is the most enjoyable way to ride.
