    what the fuck?

  • 50mph down a hill outside Farnham... though then occurred about what if I fell off?

  • what the fuck?

    If it helps I've played with the settings and found this: 0.03205435364 mach

  • If it helps I've played with the settings and found this: 0.03205435364 mach

    Mach Numbers??!! Most of these lads haven't even passed GCSE maths..... ;-p

    24.4 mph about right??

  • If it helps I've played with the settings and found this: 0.03205435364 mach

    [strike]0.03205mach basically means 32.05mph[/strike]

    Including Eddie? ;)

  • Although I prefered his result

  • Including Eddie? ;)

    ya, i accidently worked it out in kph. Ive only recently started converting speed into mph

    so QuickVit was right, its 24.39977399mph to be exact. Or approx 38kph
    mach is 761.2mph or about 1200kph

  • 24.4 it was. Boringly slow. I much preferred the warp speed 1.819221216032059e-8

  • Pullled over by an irate policeman doing 35 in a 30 zone. That is 50 16 though.

    1.82e-8 means basically means 0.00000000182 mph if I counted my zeroes correctly.

    At sea level, it changes depending on the fluid.

    dude, its 1.82 to the "e" not times 10 to the power of -8
    and i think its presented as 1.82e x -8
    e is approx 2.71

    1.82x2.71x(-8) is **~39.56kph i.e. 24.56mph**

  • No. That's how it's presented on digital displays. 1.82e-8 = 1.82 x 10^-8

  • Ahhh! too much maths!

    48mph on my old geared road bike,

    i havent got a computer on the new one (yet)
    so i should be faster =)

  • You’re all just blowing your own trumpet
    (I’m ready to get told to f off)
    I’m like a tortoise so I haven’t got anything to brag about but if I did I wouldn’t
    As long as it makes you feel better about yourself then go ahead

  • has anyone seen the speedo on Mare st that shows you how fast you are going then flashes up a smiley face?

  • I went done a hill near High Beach, Essex a while back on my geared bike
    and at the bottom my computer said i had done 114km an hour,
    i cant work out how i did this though, because my computer is always reliable
    any ideas?
    mate suggested that the front wheel came off the ground for one revolution? but i really doubt this.

    I'd hypothesise that your computer was unreliable on this occasion, and further hypothesise that errors of this sort might be more likely to occur at higher speeds, say 60kph and above.

    I bet the testing of most bicycle computers is more rigorous in the 10-30mph zone, or rather, that's where they're designed to be most reliable.

  • a friend of mine went tourer on a tandem with his then fiance, they went down a hill and reached 65mile. they didn't end up getting married.

    ive seen this, and also the guy talks about it in the first post

    yeah i thought that may be the reason, it not a very expensive one at all so probably true, owell my dreams of it being true are shattered

  • where abouts on mare st?

  • 47.41mph or 76.3kph is my top recorded speed but I'm sure I've been faster than that downhill at least its felt faster.

  • Travelling south after hackney empire. I think.
