Does anyone know whats the fastest speed anyone has ever done on a bike. Be it competition training or otherwise. The fastest I ever heard of was 62. I dont require a technical answer just wondering what anyone has heard.

The fastest unassisted was Sam Whittingham at 81mph in the Varna Diablo II. That was the 200 meter flying start sprint at the 2002 Battle Mountain Speed Challenge.John Budnik said:John Howard hit 152mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats. This is probably 20 years ago. His gearing was such that he had to be towed to 60mph before he could pedal and then he drafted a van up to his target speed. He said afterward that the hardest part of this was finding a van that could go that fast.
That is sick. Was this on a flat???lwedge said:

Nevada Desert (Battle Mountain), so it would be very flat and maybe 6000ft. He used a fully enclosed recumbent bike.azdroptop said:That is sick. Was this on a flat???
That is very fast. Did he use a fully enclosed recumbent bike?tcklyde said:Another perspective on speed: Ruben Plaza covered the 38.9 km (~24 miles) stage 20 Vuelta time trial at an average speed of 56.22 km/hr (35 mph). I believe that is the fastest time trial time for a grand tour. And man, that is fast!
It should be noted that the course had a strong tailwind.
