What is 30 km/h?

30 km/h is how fast you're going if you're moving like a quick runner on a bicycle.

Imagine you're riding your bike in the park. You pedal hard and go smoothly from one end of the playground to the other, that's about 30 km/h! It’s faster than walking, but not as fast as a car zooming down the street.

• If you walk really fast, like when you're trying to catch your friend before recess ends, you might go around 5 km/h.
• A running kid can do about 10 km/h, which is pretty quick for a person on foot.
• A bike at 30 km/h is like being able to cover three playgrounds in one minute, that’s serious speed!

So next time you’re zooming down the street on your bike, picture yourself as a superhero biking through the city at 30 km/h. Pretty cool, right?
