In another thread Max Power mentioned that he's gone 61. I've maxed out at 39, and don't want to go any faster than that.
During my working/commuting years, I used to get up into the high 30s on a downhill two-lane road onto a 75-year-old bridge that's 50 feet above the stream in Kipapa Gulch. The sort of speed run where you begin to overtake the traffic. On the cyclist's map, this bridge is marked in big bleeding red ink.35ish on a downhill towards the end of the bike section of a triathlon. Scared also.

no speedometers then
First time I saw one of those was after I got to the US at age 17. I did marvel at it. Did not see wheel diameter compensation on them.
Never saw one in the old country.
