I am trying to find the range of safety, the reason is, I am trying to find
out if you ever have a chain broken while you're on the freeway?
Thanks for your feedback.

Nope never had a chain break at all.
I do between 50-80 mph on the freeways depending on traffic density, and
conditions.
I won't do 80 at night or in populated areas, though I will do 80 all day on
the country backroads.

Thanks Bob for your feedback, I appreciate it. I know I sounded funny but I
was just trying to be consistent with my logic, any time you
maneuver/control any moving object to me it's called driving, it is English
that screws people, hehee.. Riding means seating and do nothing like the
passengers doing, they ride the bus, and airplane etc.. Hehee...
