I’m a very zealous cyclist and enjoy taking on difficult challenges. My friend, Yin and I take the same route to work, which is a quiet rural road. There is a stretch of a 3 mile straightway, so I’m wondering if it is possible to outrun her car?
Postscript: My friend, Yin drives a 2002 Honda Civic DX, with a 1.7L, 115 horse power engine and a 4-Speed automatic transmission.
To pass on my thanks, I’ve temporary placed a photo page for your viewing. Please comment.

It appears your riding backward on that board track. The honda will pass you because it will top out at 115 miles an hour. That is the speed honda limits that car because of tire speed rating. Internal combustion will win out over muscle power. With a 140 tooth front sprocket 13 tooth back sprocket and a wind break riding behind a truck or van You might be able to out run that honda. By the way nice strong legs...

The car could be going at least 80mph if they accelerate at full speed, how do you expect to beat that on a bike. Buy a faster car and quit wasting your time racing cars on a bike.

Ya if she drives 15MPH all the way there.
On a good day a bicycle will only average 17-22 MPH.
