How fast?
«
on:
March 08, 2009, 06:06 PM »
Went out today on my Haro cruiser with my new 'cycle computer' fixed to the bars.I got 34.7 mph down a hill without pedaling and knobbly tyres- not bad I thought. I had to crouch down low and looked stupid but it was a laff. The missus followed with her brakes on most of the way down.Puff.
All I need now is slik tires and a spandex suit. Might try it next on my 20" with khe's on....

Nice one Ian - Most I've got is about 45mph on a MTB going down a hill near to me.
I can just picture you lycra'd up with a Full face in speed pose on a 20"!!! You gotta take some photos

Check this out, Ingleby incline, 1 mile long, ~1000ft drop.

Ian Cation hit over 70mph on his mtb, needed a massive front ring, the lads a looooon
P.S. There a gate halfway down so make sure its open first

This drop into Westerdale is good for about 60mph (according to my speedo) on an MTB and you get airborne too

My fastest on a BMX is probably about 40mph.
