What is the fastest speed you have cycled ??

[classic33]

Generally speaking, once the speed goes much over 45 mph/70 kph, you'll go faster crouched down and getting aero than you will pedaling in a normal position

That's my experience too, just that a bigger ring or faster legs might get me up to speed a wee bit sooner.

Which would be better then, aero position or higher gear(220 inches)?

Better eyesight, so that I could get lower without having to stick my head up to see. Coasting is much more fun than pedalling like a loon. Especially when the speed wobbles start....

Hit 45.4mph today and didn't even pedal or get on the drops. Reckon it could be a 50mph hill if I did it properly.

I hit 40mph once. Going downhill. I didn't like it.... I can hit about 25-27mph on a flat, with a tailwind if I'm really going for it.

Just thought you'd taken advantage of the weather.

On a another note there is one of those signs that tell you your speed. It is on a flat road in a 30 mph zone not far from home. Recently installed. Provides amusement as I try and beat my previous best for the sign. Shame it is so close to the junction as with a longer run up...

53mph going on a hill in Dalby forest, down a fairly steep incline, on a road I'd never ridden before. In road conditions that are best described as slimey. Stupid Stupid Stupid.

I did 49.6 down there. Which perhaps helps to explain why I managed to stop and "others" didn't

I didn't have any problems stopping. I'd already involuntarily decided to stop riding my bike.

99.7km/h on the Gavia Pass. Didn't matter how much I moved about I couldn't crack the 100. That was on 23mm tyres. Since changing to 25mm I haven't got above 90.

Anything above about 10mph and the dog starts whining in his basket.
