Driving the posted 40 miles-per-hour speed limit on Western Colorado's Riverside Parkway is absolutely impossible. One can drive it at 45. It's even easier to do 50. To be completely honest, it's can even be done at 35. Put simply, 40MPH is a speed cars were never meant to do. Here are five things drastically easier to do than driving 40MPH on the Riverside Parkway.

1. Jumping out of an airplane and landing on a pile of peas.


2. Pulling a Boeing 767 across the runway... by yourself.


3. Sending people to Mars.


4. Solving a Rubik's Cube in less than 10 seconds.


5. Sitting through the full performance of William Shatner singing "Rocket Man."

There you have it, five things easier to do than driving 40MPH on the Riverside Parkway. Perhaps another thing easier to do would be to petition the city to change the posted speed limit to something a bit more practical.
