Different sports have different maxes.
Max swimming is ~185bpm (during some sprints https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/5643406465
)
Max cycling is ~185bpm
Max running is ~195bpm
Max 5-a-side is ~205bpm (highest I can find in Garmin Connect is 201bpm with a 183bpm average: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/2583478721
)I just can't get my HR up that high when cycling, including doing various all out efforts on an indoor bike with no cooling.
Ugh. Hate those previews...

Is 160bpm too high or can I just continue like this until it eventually goes down in a few weeks/months? All the training schedules say I need to stay in zone 2-3...
Personally I'd just say continue doing what you kind of enjoy doing for the next few weeks/months and get a better idea of things and where exactly your zones lie with respect to heart rate.
Probably better to use the "talk test" method of zone estimation: https://www.healthhp.com.au/post/the-talk-test-for-running-zones

The simplest thing I can find in my data is the effect of fitness and weight.
I ran 3k the other day (first run for ~6 months) as I'm just starting to try and get back into shape after some annoying injuries (knee and hamstring). The average HR is a bit misleading on a short run as the first minute is spent ramping up, but the average for the last km was around 165bpm and I was running at about 6:30/km.
Compare this to my parkrun PR from years ago and I was running ~4:50/km pace with a HR only slightly higher (170bpm average).
The difference was about 20kg and much better fitness (e.g. the same output for a lower HR).

Dunno. It might just be right for you in your current state of fitness.
HR rates vary hugely amongst individuals so there is zero point comparing raw figures with other people. What is the max you've ever seen on your HR and how were you feeling at that time?
FWIW my HR is generally quite high but then it can go really high (>200bpm) during 5-a-side games.
Let me dig out some of my old data to see how my HR changed over time as I got fitter.

We were talking in the pub last night about how much the New Old Trafford is going to cost in terms of Antonys. It's about 25 Antonys.

£500k/week is going to almost nothing given 10 years of inflation.

Yeah, brain fart, will edit.
No, wait a sec, that's not my experience. And the article seems to agree that it's harder to judge the distance to a flashing light compared to a steady light.

Goes to show that everyone is different.
In my experience (a mixture of urban riding and plenty of out-in-the-sticks riding through the night on Audaxes):
Flashing lights catch the eye more, but it's very hard to judge the distance to a flashing light, hence the need for a steady light alongside. The only time flashing lights can get to fuck is on big group rides (they're banned on Paris-Brest-Paris for example) as an endless line of blinking lights is very tiring on the brain/eyes.
The one major thing that I find disorientating is bright lights angled up too high (not limited to bikes, some cars have shittily aligned lights too).
I've driven behind lights like that in a car on a rainy day and the light diffusion in the raindrops on the windscreen (even with wipers on max) make it very difficult - I know to drop back and give them space in this kind of situation since my vision is impaired, but not every driver will do the same.
-
Flashing for daytime, steady for night.
Easier to just have both all the time. Aligned properly of course.

I think it's the obvious thing in the picture of a plane flying directly towards the Eiffel Tower.
Or it's probably something about the kerning in PARIS
Endurance idiot.
