Reverse transcriptase is the viral enzyme responsible for making a DNA copy of the RNA genome from a retrovirus. As such, it is technically known as an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. This is opposite to the usual flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower. 1  Easy: Under 10 mph. 2  Leisurely: 10-12 mph. 3  Steady: 12-14 mph.  Moderate: 14-16 1  mph. Brisk: 16-18 2  mph. Vigorous: 18- 20 3  mph. Strenuous: 20-22  mph. Super Strenuous: 22+ mph.
People can go outrageous speeds -- like 150mph -- on a bicycle that approximates a road bike while moving behind a wind-breaking vehicle on the flats. Mile-a-minute Murphy did 60mph behind a train on a heavy steel road bike with balloon tires. Recumbents can do 80mph. Road bikes are actually fairly slow vehicles.
