Well, 25mph is going to be about 120rpm for me and it seems wasteful to use the brakes on a decent. 90 rpm currently gives me 18.7mph which isn't quite enough to flow with the traffic for the most part.
The 90rpm thing is a good guide - maybe - but it's a huge generalization for the highest common denominator, is it not?
