Just curious about other cyclists speeds!

[Spiderweb]

I can cycle my 7 mile commute at 19+ mph average if I choose to push on a bit but I’m nowhere close to your 68 mph top speed! What gearing do you have to achieve that speed?
I think you need to slow down, ride with other cyclists and make it interesting again.

Pretty sure I once hit Mach 2, although it was downhill so I'm not sure if that counts. I might have gone a bit quicker but I was on my Raleigh Chopper, rolling a fag, and the girlfriend was riding pillion and fiddling with my loose change, so I was a bit distracted.

Also doesn't count if it only happened in one of your more normal fantasies

Sorry @inuke you can wave your member as much as you like but I’m not buying 68mph. I’ve had 58 off Helmsdale Where is this great hill on your commute?
Is it on Strava? You know it never happened unless it’s on Strava

Ah, Strava, the Facebook for ebike and moped owners.

I'm slower tham your stated speeds but don't read too much into that I am slower than lots and lots of other people as well. Your stated speed of 68mph due to being held up by traffic is a lot fadster than I have ever travelled on a bike.

What sort of person exaggerates like the op?

No self awareness.

My top speed is 68mph on a stretch downhill of my daily comuniting (with traffic) I could go faster without traffic.

Strava fastest, 65.5mi/h (due to GPS blip)
Uncontestable, legitimate fastest, 51.0mi/h, on the Col d'Osquitch. Usually run out of gears at around 48mph.
Where do you live? Jupiter?

The problem of course is that you reach pedestrians before they hear your bell.

Repeated use of the word 'communt*' suggests a troll.

I'm another one who spins out at just over 50 mph.
I've only reached 55 mph on a couple of hills.
But I've yet to find a long and steep enough hill that I trust enough to try to go faster.

YMMV ...........

If I was going as fast on a bike as the OP claims, I’d be gripping on too darn tight to ring the bloody thing!

Just found a faster ride on my strava: 84.3mph. I try not to do it very often but have been known to accidentally execute the Picard Manouevre on the roads around here. It confounds motorists so much that they moan about me being two abreast but in reality it's just an optical illusion caused by me travelling faster than light

Well, I once rode so fast a wormhole formed and I instantly arrived at the shops without even moving.

Are you sure it was speed that deformed spacetime and not the gravitational field given off by your ego?
