      Yes, still amused. Automobiles indeed have higher max speed than cyclists do, and they also accelerate more quickly.

      In a 30 kph zone with multiple stops the acceleration is probably more relevant assuming that the car was intending to obey traffic laws. On long stretches of road with higher speed limits the limiting factor is definitely max speed but then you can usually overtake.
