New Ride! (with only two wheels ;) )
its a one jake-powered 21-speed Diamondback! its used and has a speedo, lights on front and rear, lightweight road wheels and tires, aftermarket seat, and a cup holder! best of all, I got it for free! i figure this will really take some weight off my car starter and gas expenditures because I do alot of short trips in my car; also i get alot of parking tickets on campus from being not wanting to park on a different campus and take a bus. this allows me to navigate between campuses easier and faster! i think last semester alone i paid more than $100 in parking tickets during finals week. needless to say, I'm excited. i'm gonna take it off some sweet jumps!
LUCKY!!!

around 30ish. you know that saying you never forget how to ride a bike? well, i didn't forget to ride but i'm still a little shaky on it. i have seen low 30s in it going down a slight incline. no top speed runs just yet

I can keep up with cars doing 25 mph for a bit on my 30 year old 10 speed down the shore  . And while I'm skinny, I'm not in the best of shape. 31 doesn't seem that crazy.

Road racing bikers do an excess of 30 for a pretty great distance in some cases. Lance Armstrong? Different bikes made for different things, bmx bikes for taking a bashing, mountain bikes have suspensions built to handle rough terrain and road bike's depending on gearing are made for speed. just like cars. You have jacked up jeeps, ricers who think their fast and us who are

Throw a moped motor on it with some nitrous and it just might haul!

Yeah, 31 seems pretty fast for a newbie on a suspension mountain bike.  I can do upper 20's for a short while on a downhill with my Schwinn Hardrock Sport, but that gets pretty shaky and it's not worth the risk. I almost nailed a deer at 25-30 one day that jumped out of nowhere and lost it's footing on the road right in front of me. That would've been worse than hitting a car!

Sweet deal dude. I'd ride my bike more but my trips are usually a little further than I'd like to go under my own power.
(and Mahwah has a TON of ridiculous hills)

i did manage to get it into the 20s on flat land today with moderate pedaling so i can't imagine low 30s downhill being so outlandish. maybe its cause i'm a heavy guy and i have alot of momentum

thats gonna be the best thing you ever got at Rutgers. I had mine when I lived on Cook, and it definitely helped my parking tickets, and you'll never have to wait for a bus again.
