32 mph is the highest I have measured accurately (GPS). Whitechapel Road miraculously free of traffic, geared road bike, needed a pee rather urgently.
On country rides sans GPS, I've fairly regularly been able to set off those "slow down, you mad fool!" speed-sensitive 30mph signs one gets in the villages of Essex while on the road bike. On the (48x15) Fuji, I've got to what felt like a rather quick cadence on a few late night rides across town, which given that gearing was probably touching 30 - certainly no bugger was overtaking.
