What is the fastest speed you have cycled ??

[Dibs]

43mph for me. Coming down a relatively nice piece of tarmac within the 'Bathgate Alps'...

Normally anything over 35mph and I'm panicking!

There has to be a corollary thread for highest cadence...

I've never cracked 200rpm but have been close a few times.

I have in the past, but age has stiffened my sinews (or something like that). 180 still possible, but painful. I think there is a cadence thread somewhere.

Which ever way you look at it its over 50mph

Any idea why the difference?

Any idea why the difference?

No but on every ride the graph seems to be different to the numbers. Im thinking of try a different computer sometime in the future

Did 35 mph on the hybrid (PX London road) felt surprisingly steady and controlled and not at all scetchy the same speed on my road bike feels much more scary.

 

[Old Steve]

40.7 mph coming down from the trundle at goodwood, good fun but strangely also quite scary...don't think I will be doing it again.

 

[CycleD]

32.1 MPH going down a short hill, maybe 200/300ft... on my Hybrid... I always want to go faster but panic...lol

 

[HLaB]

You must have had your brakes on I've clocked 53 on same road on my touring bike, scary stuff!

Probably I'm a descending wuss

 

[Wolfie4560]

36.4 on the hill into South Wingfield. I bottled it then....

 

[Onthedrops]

34.1 mph and the bike was smooth, but so was the road. No fear and I was surprised at the recorded speed after doing it.
Up to then it was 32.3 mph and it felt fast. Usually get on the brakes if I feel I'm overdoing it as I'm older and wiser and do know that bike spills hurt even more at my age!

 

[briantrumpet]

There has to be a coronary thread for highest cadence...

FTFY

It has to be correct as it's there in black & white If someone could explain it to me I'd be all ears

You rolled backwards at the junction and the sensor got confused?

On a ride earlier this week, my wife's GPS device registered a max speed of 79mph. Mine only a little over 20. I didn't realise I'd left her that far back at any point

Strava clocked me at 54.3mph some time ago, I have never managed to achieve that sort of speed since, I think the best I have managed is 42mph downhill with a following wind.

 

[Cuchilo]

I cant seem to get over 40MPH on a down hill before i spin out or decide to just tuck in and keep at that speed . 25.59 MPH is my fastest so far for 10 miles .
