Well, that's almost true. The fastest I've ever ridden was 54 mph. My speed was limited because I was getting too close to the car in front of me.
So the rest of my riding is indeed slower. And I (essentially) never do lose control. I fell for the third time ever (that is, a moving on-road fall) a couple years ago. A huge dog hiding in some shrubbery sprinted out and barreled into my front wheel. I went over the bars and did hit my head. The cotton cycling cap I was wearing must have saved my life!
Based on that, I think every rider should always wear a cotton cycling cap. They should pass a law!   ;-)
