It’s actually not too easy to ride at 30km/h
Presumably the hippo also needs to ride a bike on that stretch, so they probably aren't managing their full running speed.
You're right, they're probably faster than their running speed given humans are faster on a bicycle than running too.
Maybe if you engineered some new pedal vehicle that is no longer really a bike, but hippos have neither the build nor the kind of gross motor skills (or prehensile forelimbs) needed to be successful as a high-level bicyclist.
Fucking racist.
racer.
