Regular bike brakes would not hold up under these conditions. The heat generated when using them would just melt the rubber pads. Or they would just wear out like the bottoms of their shoes did. If they used metal Disk Brakes, similar to what your car has, like my bike then they would be ok.
When I was young and STUPID I've gone 60 miles an hour on a two wheel bicycle myself but our team was drafting a truck at the time. Not going around tight corners.

Where I'm from, that's called a "big wheel". I made one a few years ago very similar to these, but mine had brakes. And I didn't go that fast.
