We can do the math tomorrow and calculate safe riding speed. This is approximately
1 1/2 house lots, so I would think safe speed would be roughly in the neighborhood of
13 mph. But we'll see who can make the best math case allowing for a 5 second reaction time
gap.
Wow 5 seconds seems like a long reaction time. I usually consider 2 seconds reaction time. Is this what is recommended?
