So, in a vacuum, this should be even faster. Also, while everything is 1/6 earth weight, your legs will be able to put out the same force as they did on earth, so let's start the bidding on top speed.

I'll start the bidding at approximately 3x earth max, or about 567 MPH.
I dont think any normal bicycle will survive much past 120 mph without wheel balancing and beefier bearings.
