Finally got round to watching the video. . .
(1) Not 77mph. Kph, just possibly as a peak speed
(2) Using both sides of a road with what appears to be inadequate sightlines - not a good idea
(3) What does the cameraman keep looking down at?
Things went wrong for me at over 40mph once. Broke my leg in three places (that's three places on my leg, not three different towns)
Here's the graph...
Blue is speed, garmin showed a max of 44 at which point I hit the gravel on the corner.

Very expressive how the blue line drops to zero and then there's that couple of little peaks just after it - I've got a vivid picture of the Garmin, unattached to the bike, bouncing down the road . . .
87kph road bike Strock Absolutist 1.0 with Cosmic Carbone SL descending Mont Ventoux to Malaucene
94kph fully laden barracuda touring mountainbike descending Paso San Francisco, Argentina 4700m asl. Think the thin air might have helped.
Think you've missed point, this thread isn't about how fast you actually have been[/quote]
ah, if that's the case... then flapping barbour jacket on my fixie down Dundas Street (Edinburgh) wearing a pair of ski goggles, half cut after a boozy lunch in Deacon Brodies - clocked at 50mph by the rozzers going through the red lights on the corner of Eyre place. Spinning out like wind turbine in a force 10.

No way, could you do 50mph down Dundas St. 50kph maybe, Lothian & Borders finest must be using an Atech F13 radar gun. Video or it never happened............and even if you've got video, it still never happened
48mph down a local hill near me. That was my limit before I bottled it and realised I was on a full carbon bike as there was a few potholes
Another example of not reading the whole thread before responding......
The title of the thread is how fast have you been on your bike? So i responded.
The title wasnt, how fast have you been on your bike and ill tell you if your correct.
or did i read it incorrect?
sort of as the point by crofter was; did you read the Thread before posting, not did you read the title. but good for you 48mph is perfectly respectable, now where's the proof?

Above that speed you know that any off is going to hurt. A lot.
You mean it was a joke ? After you tried to justify it with "The computer was on the bike in front" ?
Even so, irony is the wrong word.
Happy Christmas to you too

I love the way he resurrected the thread, after 10 days and after it had fallen off the front page.
Genius !! :roll:

What was that?! It sounds like a bike travelling at 77mph...

Yep - but when I hit my fastest speed of 785mph it makes a boom
