That’s assuming your traffic is free flowing. In city traffic it’s not at all unusual for bike to match or exceed cars’ speed. For example the average speed of traffic in inner London is less than 12mph (in the centre its more like 7).

Yeah, I got an electric scooter a few months ago. It’s always fun going along the separated bikeway alongside one of the big six to eight lane freeways coming in and out of the middle of the city I live in, and at some times even at 25 km/h still going faster than the car traffic!
