If you are riding a roller coaster, how do you think your speed is related to your kinetic energy? Your potential energy?

Your kinetic energy is always proportional to the square of your speed,
no matter whether you're on a bicycle, a roller coaster, or a baby carriage.
The faster you're moving, the more kinetic energy you have.

Your potential energy doesn't depend on speed at all, only on height. 
On a roller coaster, the minimum speeds are usually at the top of a hill
or a loop, so the potential energy would generally correspond to the
slowest speeds. But again, that's not because of the speed.  It's because
of the height.
