That'd be like getting on I-35 and driving 35MPH.
I ride 10-15 miles per day (or at least I try to). It's pretty easy for me as my neighborhood connects right up with the Lake Hefner bike trail. In the past, when I wanted to ride and didn't live close to anything, I stuck to back roads or I drove out to one of the parking lots next to the trails.
Riding down a major street at peak time may be legal, but it's dangerous for both the cars and the bike riders. If you ride a bike and plan to do this, make sure you have a good helmet and good insurance.
