Whilst I don’t have a speedometer on my new bicycle, due to the stop start nature of commuting in London back when I was at college I managed to get up to 26 mph, admittedly whilst going down a hill.

What is the highest speed you have ever travelled at on your bicycle?

I honestly don’t know my fastest speed on flat ground, without tailwinds, etc. But I’ve hit 55mph going down a very steep, very straight hill in the mountains near my town. Back in college, I once drafted a dumptruck up to 45mph on flat ground. (My friend was able to keep the pace up to 50mph!) But these days, most of my cycling is between 12 and 18mph, back and forth to work - or even slower, with the kids.

55-60 Downhill, flatland I can hit 30 when I’m good and warmed up

I can do 60 km/h (37 mph) on flat land without tailwind. It’s probably worth writing that i’m only 14.
