Not on the South Canal trail because that's all rather flat. That is the 
bike path where folks floor it in their Velomobiles. I was going 25mph 
and felt like king of the universe. Then ... whoosh ... one of those 
60lbs behemoths flew by. Later I saw the rider struggling to load the 
heavy beast into his truck and cycled over to the parking lot to help. 
"So how fast were you going when you passed me?" ... "Oh, not 
outrageaously fast, 40mph or so". He had a big old stereo system and all 
mounted in there.

It looked like this:
