How fast have you cycled?

[CopperCyclist]

42.5 mph, on a cyclocross with 35mm tyres. Looking forward to breaking that limit now I have a proper road bike with skinny tyres!

 

[Nearly there]

34.6 mph I always start to wimp out once I go over 30 Ive had a few pheasants run out on me at slower speeds so I always have that in the back of my mind.wells thats my excuse

 

[TheDoctor]

A recorded 49.6 mph downhill with a tailwind.
My computer wasn't working coming down Ventoux, but I'm sure I was doing well over 50 mph.

 

[ianrauk]

48.4mph North down the Devils Dyke drafting ilb's.

 

[HLaB]

47.6mph down the String Road in Arran and I'm a descending wuss, I'm sure other folk could hit 60mph there. I prefer a shallower downhill gradient that I can pedal through and sprint without feeling like I'm out of control; something like this, where I averaged just over 30mph and hit a max of 36.8mph.

There is this descent near me: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/abergele-descent# I could top 40mph if I really tried.

This thread reminds me of Boogie Nights when Dirk Diggler and that other as8hole were 'bonding' by bragging about how much they could bench.

 

[Globalti]

48.8 mph this morning in the Bowland fells.

 

[Matthew_T]

Managed 40.1mph down what I thought I could get more today. I was really going for it as well. I need to find another road. There is one road which I could get up to 45mph on, but I really want to reach 50 and tick it off my bucket list.

 

[jowwy]

Mine was today 49.91mph down the black rock from brynmawr to abergavenny - scary too

 

[fossyant]

60 coming into Betws-y-coed in a group of 4 of us. More locally and recently, 55 coming off Woodhead towards Sheffield. Regularly get 40 plus on a local lump, and upto 50 on Chunal (just 8 miles from home).

 

[Boondoggle]

Probably around 30/35 mph. I always get a bit scared that a wheel comes off so I hit the brakes

 

[biggs682]

clocked 35 mph this afternoon on tandem on a short sharp decline

 

[MrB1obby]

Wish I had a dam speedo! Just found a brilliant hill tonight about 9-10 miles from my home, must've got above 40 as a car was barely moving past me and it's a 50 limit...Although I'm pretending to myself that he was going 80 because it was a 5 series beemer estate

 

[Accy cyclist]

My 48mph was a one off, i must have felt confident that evening about ten years ago. I haven't passed about 42/3mph for years as i'm happy with enjoying a decent and feeling safe(ish) at the same time.
I live near Pendle hill near Clitheroe Lancs have any of you ever flown down there?
