32mph on Islington Middleway heading into the Belgrave Interchange underpass.
Immediately after the road levelled out at the bottom of Britwell Hill I was still doing 55.5 mph

Best Ive done is 32.2 mph. Done that twice now on different stretches but the last time was with a sensor so Im only taking that as the bar.
Fast enough for me, like someone else said all I thought was what ifs which made me wuss out pushing it any more.
Any faster and I may have gone all Kubrick on my bike.

Damn motorists!
Always slowing us cyclists down. They really should get narrower cars, or sumthin'

I got to 30.2 once but then my nerve deserted me so I tapped my brakes a bit so that I didn't keep getting quicker. Downhill, naturally

When I hit my top speed (also 47.6mph coincidently) I caught up with a car braking on every corner, whether I would have topped 50mph though is another thing

35+ when I had a speedo on the bike more by accident than design but Meh really it's meaningless as you're basically asking how brave or distracted were you on quite a big hill.

That should have read 40.2, not 30.2. I made the traffic camera flash! It was a tad scary - the speed, not the camera. The camera thing just made me laugh.I got to 30.2 once but then my nerve deserted me so I tapped my brakes a bit so that I didn't keep getting quicker. Downhill, naturally

This question re-appears every now and again on the forum.
Good for a little bit of willy waving
49.4mph down Devils Dyke north bound.
I do love a bit of willy waving so shall read on to the end and enjoy
My highest speed is about the same as my slowest speed. I hate going downhill as much as I hate going up them so I only really have one speed......... slow
