The two-second rule for following at a safe distance will hold true at:

Speeds up to 30 m.p.h.
Any speed.
Speeds up to 55 m.p.h.
Safely away from the bicycle.

The correct answer is: Any speed.

The two-second rule for following at a safe distance is a general guideline that applies to all speeds. It recommends keeping a distance from the vehicle in front of you that would take you at least two seconds to reach if that vehicle suddenly stops. This rule helps ensure that you have enough time to react and stop safely in case of an emergency. It is important to adjust your following distance based on your speed, road conditions, and other factors that may affect stopping distance, but in general, maintaining a minimum two-second following distance is a good practice regardless of the speed you are traveling at.
