How fast is safe on a bicycle?

As a comparison point, the UCI record for an upright bicycle is about 20 m/s (45mph). Personally I don’t go much above 15m/s on my uprights and never above 20m/s. But with more wheels and a safer riding position I’ve felt fairly safe doing a 10 minute descent between 20 and 30m/s.
