If you want to ride your bike at a speed of 11 miles per hour, pace yourself alongside a city bus.
One of the other 30 or so civilians that attended the Metro Fare Increase Hearing at City Hall today related a story of riding a bike alongside a bus and continually being passed, and then passing a bus until they both reached their destination at the same time.
The man normally clocks about 11 miles per hour on his bike.
"That's right," a Metro executive confirmed. "A city bus averages 11 miles per hour, exactly!"
Metro should make that their new slogan "City buses, no faster than a bicycle."
