Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What is the fastest you have ever gone on your road bike?
This afternoon while practicing riding my bike I started going too fast downhill and panicked. Making a quick recovery before a possible nasty crash. So I wonder, what is the fastest you ever gone on your bike?

P.S. Don't laugh I am a noob. Ok... go ahead and laugh.

You forgot to tell us how fast you were going so we could laugh at you.

39 MPH. I haven't been riding long, but I couldn't seem to break 35. I finally did. Now I just got to get into the 40s.

I don't have a way measure it. But I'm guessing maybe 10mph lol. I'm not sure this is my first road bike experience. But i started going faster than i was comfortable with and panicked.

I think he said 124 km/hr, 77 mph. That's just about my max speed as well, both on a touring frame in the CA coast range and on a tandem in the Canadian Rockies. A long wheelbase makes it less scary, but one is still toast if something goes awry.

49.5 mph. The rough road and low spoke count (16f/20r) combined to form a vision of extreme unpleasantness and I got on the brakes.

How fast can you pedal?, down hill! Here are the speeds at cadence of most popular top gears.

Obviously, they're not pedaling that fast. Coming down a steep mountain or hill, it's all gravity.

43 MPH if my Garmin is to be believed. I've definitely hit 40 MPH, just recently.

The nice thing about doing this on a bent is 1a it requires no talent because the position is naturally aero, and 1b going downhill feet first means a crash will only leave me paralyzed but not brain dead. But even on a bent it's pretty scary. I worry a lot about deer and other critters hopping in front of me.
