Ive never had a speedo on my mountain bike but my record is 54 on a bmx in the spring cycle!
pretty proud of that one, but wifey has done 78 on her road bike (cervelo) at the noosa triathlon. :(

my 77km/hr was done in an 80 zone.
your just too slow fox. to busy hucking
98 down a large hill riding from Campbelltown to Bulli during a road ride. It was pretty scarey wondering if the brakes would pull me up at the bottom.
70 something during the Angry Doctor ride on some firetrail last year.

Never ever been clocked on a bike, but i did overtake a bike at Centenial Park on my roller skates. Once he caught me he was doing 64kph next to me :)

Wow that is pretty crazy. I knew some parts of the angry doctor were fast but i wouldnt have thought that quick:D
It is awesome riding there though (I only live 50kms away:)). Just need an xc bike so I can do the 100 instead of 50 on my dirt jumper haha.

I call BS:rolleyes: Feel free to prove me wrong though.:)
I havent skated in many years but am more than happy to give it another go :) I was in training for the NSW speed skate team and use to skate about 25 hours a week :)

Yeah down one of the fireroads in the first 50km i think. My speedo and GPS recorded the same speed.:)
I only have mtbike speeds.
Top speed, while biking through no mans land between Chile and Bolivia at an altitude of about 4600 meters above sea level (= not much air, so less wind resistance!!). It was a sealed road, with barbed wire fences along each side and mine fields on the other side of the barbed wire...
We were on mtbikes with knobbies
Hit 100.3 km
My mate was annoyed... he only got 99.7km!!
Fastest I have hit on a gravel road was 89km. Trouble is I have been biking for about 20 years, but have probably only had a speedo on my bike for about 1 or 2 years at the most!!

Faster to be in an aerodynamic tuck at that speed. Sprint to get speed and then mold yourself into a little aerodynamic ball wrapped around your top tube ;)
