What is the fastest speed you have cycled ??

[Shut Up Legs]

My fastest speed is probably about 50.4 mph. But that's only the relative speed. The true speed is probably something more like 1,300,000 mph.

You lot are seriously bonkers.
























45mph on a descent into Hawes. NEVER again!

Felt kinda duty bound to walk back up with a broom to clear the trail of brown stuff I'd left behind - induced by being OVERTAKEN by my then 14 year old son..

 

[xzenonuk]

only about 33 mph on my mtb

stupid traffic lights and cars spoil it though im pretty sure that was about max for my highest gear.

Mine was 48mph downhill whilst doing the shropshire 100 a few years ago..my knog speedo chip tht was on my front fork flew off halfway down!

 

[Hover Fly]

Fastest I know of is 58mph on Woodland Fell. Probably went faster when I was young and foolish, but had no computer. Most thrilling was coming down the north side of the Saint Gotthard pass when I caught up with and passed an express train*. Having the build of a dropper as opposed to a climber and being brought up in a hilly area by a father who would call me a cissy for using my brakes too much had its advantages.

*They don't go very fast on the Gotthard because of the way the line spirals.

 

[Karlt]

47mph downhill (well, it would be) from Halfway to Eckington (for the benefit of any Sheffield/NE Derbys types) - commute home. Never got that fast on a club run; the Sunday bike's a bit lighter and I tend to stay with the pack which contains quite a few people much more lithe than I; I've passed them freewheeling while they're pedalling away.

 

[RoubaixCube]

27mph down the hill at manor house. could probably make it 30mph then again im not that aero.

 

[Jefferson Meriwether]

43mph is still my fastest speed. Part of me would like to do 50+ but I'm not in any particular hurry to do that.

I had a similar situation a good few years back when going down one of the drops at ally pally on my old MTB. I didnt have a cycle computer to tell me how fast i was going but I was f**king bricking it all the way. That was when developed a wobble, tried to bunny hop on to a kerb and back onto some gravel, miscalculated the hop cuz i was going too fast. front tyre ended up smacking right into said kerb and i ended up almost being flung over the top of the handle bars.

I did land on my feet like a pro gymnast but because i still had so much forward momentum, I fell and ended up rolling a little ways down the hill. Ended up with a badly scraped knee and i didnt have a first aid kit on me at that time.

Pah.

Try skiing at 100kph/63mph.

That's scary.

Managed slightly faster, set the speed cameras off in a 50 zone. Down from J24(M62) towards Elland.

 

[Siclo]

90 kph (56 mph) dropping off Marchlyn Mawr, I'd like to break 100 kph at some point.

 

[Flying Dodo]

49.95 mph, dropping down the hill away from Luton (which is understandable - most people try to escape the place).
