What is the fastest speed you have cycled ??

[Cold]

Was that going to the roundabout to the air balloon? Bloody hell that is fast down there, I'm in Stroud so might try it

No it's the one as you go past the George hotel in Birdlip and down into Witcombe I don't actually know what the hill is called but I call it Birdlip hill

50.6 or something like that coming down the Pyrenees from Andorra into France.

About 37-38 on the flat. Down the dual carriageway by Gatwick (slightly less picturesque than the above).

I managed 74km/h (45mph) on the descent from Forth to the crossroads at Briech in West Lothian on my hybrid. Sadly my phone died and I lost the strava data (a likely story )

On a flat section on my commute, I can sustain a good burst of 50km/h for ~1km.

Approximately 45 mph down a hill past North Elkington near Louth, Lincolnshire. Didn't stop a bellend in a 4x4 trying to overtake me though, even though it was a narrow road of only 1.5 car widths.

Hit around 45mph a few times - off the Long Mynd, Gospel Pass, couple of the decents in the Peaks, etc etc. Always seem to cap out around 45...problly as I'm on MTB gearing most of the time and spin out in the low 30s.

Hit the low 30s on the flats with stupid tailwinds a couple of times - on Sout Uist in the Outer Hebrides - setting off hit 15mph from a stationary without even peddling. Other time in Gemany on a plateau 5-600m up with a thunderstorm and lightening incoming. ****ing it due to the fear of getting hit and lack of cover probably helped with the speed too....

kph down the Bougille on Arran, on the flying sofa.

Hit 46mph coming down from the Wolds and have to say I wasn't a fan as it was typical Lincolnshire lane with gravel strewn all over it.

Been there, done that. Going down a hill into Rothwell at 40+mph only to be greeted with a pot-hole strewn road at the bottom, managed to brake and swerve enough to miss the worst holes and stayed on and luckily avoided any damage to the bike. Could have been nasty. Learned my lesson now. I keep the speed low on roads that I haven't been down recently in case of unknown hazards.

Like to do some Kilo sprints on a flat road now and then.

PR 1:01:22 - 1km
58.8km/h (36.5mph) Ave
63.4km/h (39.4mph) Max

103km/h (64.0mph) on rollers then ran out of gears

Funnily enough, last time I was out in the Wolds a van ful of lads in motorcycle leathers was out sweeping up the gravel from corners. Guess they don't much like it either and were cleaning the route prior to a ride.

Oh yes, was coming down from the red hill nature reserve down towards Donnington on Bain and thought I would give it everything, bad idea. Wouldn't do it again.

Know it very well. Not been down it, but been up it a few times.

 

[TheJDog]

I hit over 100 kph in the Alps over the summer, but as a kid I saw an indicated 68 mph on an old wired cateye. No idea how accurate it was but I was scared out of my wits. No helmet, shorts, and then a bend much tighter than I had any right to be on at that speed.

 

[Andywinds]

at 100kph you must be really tucked in? I bet if you sat up you would get blown off the bike!
