When I was young, I rode down a road on the motorbike at 80 mph (with 
protective clothing and helmet); I noticed that the "small bend at the 
bottom of the hill" was easily taken at 60 mph.

Two years later I rode down that hill on the Mountainbike, and I knew 
there was no major risk doing that with a max speed of just above 50 mph.

Several years later on the recumbent bike I preferred going a different 
route ("chickend out") because I had stopped motorbiking.  It's all in 
the head.
