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....

How fast have you been and measured on a bicycle

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.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=54.41878,-1.066124&spn=0.011249,0.025256&t=h&z=16

Ian Cation hit over 70mph on his mtb, needed a massive front ring, the lads a looooon  :idiot2:

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.
