And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

The bike has a speedometer, a nice padded seat and brakes! What more do you really need? I do wonder how long that run is... I'd like to see the video...
When I was a kid we lived on Oahu in Hawaii, in Kailua. I had a speedometer on my bike and went to the tallest hill with a road I could find in Keolu hills. Walked up it and rode down, I went faster than the speedo did! Down at the base of the hill there was a large dirt area across the road, I couldn't stop while I was going down the hill, got lucky that there were no cars on the road as I needed that flat area to slow down.
Aw Hell No !! By the 2nd 'whoop de do', I'm launched into the ether ...
