Just to note, I wasn't even thinking about the standing start part! (I appreciate people's calculations on that point.) Even ignoring the standing start, the fastest speed I seem to be able to reach on my bike on level ground is about 35-40 kph, which is about as fast as Usain Bolt runs in sprint events.

But the acceleration issue is clearly also very significant and I hadn't put much thought into it.
