It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Very much doubt that
50km/h for a short amount of time is far from unusual for most cyclists. The fastest cyclists can do 90km/h in a burst which requires ~5x more effort than going 50km/h.
Most people with a little training can do ~1200W which is enough to get to those speeds with a good position on a well adjusted bike.
You're right, my bad. Seems fast to me!
I broke 20 mph on my longboard regularly on flat ground.
It's fast and I'd have to probably stop for a break, but for a sprint on a light bike on a good road...yeah, not unheard of. I can keep up 30kph for 10 min or more if trying.
Both of these are not "commuting in your work dress" levels of effort though. In normal use you're rarely going above 20-25 unpowered and 30 powered on the flat.
Yep, but it is teenagers doing stupid things levels of effort, though.
