I have a hybrid that's more on the sporty side. I can easily keep it at a constant 22km/hr without wasting a whole bunch of energy. I've been regularly riding about 20km a day and at least 2x a week 35k.
I can say, however, the difference of riding in the states vs. the Netherlands is night and day. I fucking love the dedicated bike paths through the country and rarely having to share with cars. I don't feel like I'm putting my life on the line like in the states.
