It is pretty easy for a lazy, out of shape couch potato (me) to get up
to around 25-30 on flat tarmac on any bike with gears. Road racers
rarely go below 30 for the duration of the race. They hit 60 quite
often on hills and get going pretty fast during sprints.
The world speed record on a bike is 167mph (269km/h) as seen here
http://tinyurl.com/c854e. He was drafting a big car type thing though.
Gears are huge for the amount of speed you can generate. Not
necessarily multiple different gears, but one gear that dramatically
increases the amount of speed you get per unit of work you put in is a
big help. Theoretically I could gear a coker so it has a 4:1 ratio and
it would be the fastest unicycle ever, but nobody could ride it.
