Cateye computer reads-out speeds up to 185 mph ....

Seen on a spec for a cateye computer. I might need the big ring to reach that kind of speed.

Perhaps they'll be using it in those world record attempts for HPVs in the states?

They expect some seriously fast cyclists

The fastest I've got up to outdoors is 47.6mph and 53.1 on the turbo; I could easily imagine folk getting up to 70-80mph but why more than double that , wiki reports that the fastest was 167mph drafting still not 185mph

Hamsters on EPO use them to time their wheels.

Ahhhhh
That's how one on a bicycle apparently managed to beat Clarkson and co in a race across Londinium.

Cycle in a Category 5 hurricane?

The designer's a DM reader.

Needed to make sure it covered bike speeds on pavements.

 

[I like Skol]

It won't intentionally be designed to reach those speeds but that will be the point that the software falls down and becomes unable to distinguish the individual speed pulses or fails to calculate the speed because of a simplification in the sums that lead to an error.

Viz tip! Want to double your speed on a bicycle, then install 2 magnets on your front wheel.
