i've seen my max speed exceed 93km/h on a road bike down a massive fuckoff hill, when i was 17. I'd be a bit quicker now cos i'm about 10kgs heavier and can spin faster.
i don't have a speedo on my fixed, but i rode to work this morning with a GPS tracker running on my phone. sadly i was trying not to ride too fast, to save my legs for rollapaluza tonight, but it reckons I hit 42km/h (probably just trying to get in front of a bus).
i'll give it a proper bash later in the week, and see how fast i can get it going.
there's nothing like coming down a mountain on a road bike and overtaking cars at 75km/h. they fucking hate it.
