My top speed is 43mph, down hill with a tail wind, pedalling like crazy. How about you? Genuine answers only please.
 
About 40 years ago i passed an LI 150 scooter that was doing 50mph on a racing cycle that i had built myself, down Newlands corner hill in Surrey
 
About 120 mph in freefall for charity.

A used to manage about 40 mph on the A12, but I don't like speeding downhill, it is too dangerous unless the road has been cleared.
 
Around 45kph (@ 27mph) down Stockport Road, guided by wind at about 4.30am after purchasing smokes from the 24hr. garage...hoping my catch for the night was still waiting for me at my flat 5km back up the road - he was, but I was too knackered to do anything. Would never be able to do that now; 15 years later!
 
About 40 on a tandem and I'm not really fit. Give it a try - you can get amazing speeds with two pairs of legs.
 
ive done about 39mph at most, that was down a very massive hill on an ally bike behind a lorry, i was aiming for the speed camera but didnt get flashed :(
