A question prompted by the 50-mph leadout thread. Smack me if it's a faq.
My meager top speed on a bike is 56.2 mph, which I hit riding alone down the back of the Parley's
Summit frontage road on a very windy day. I spun out my 52/12 then tucked.
I know I can spin pedals fast enough to achieve that speed at that gear, but not necessarily under
load. Is it more likely that I pedalled to my top speed or achieved it by slimming my frontal area
after spinning the gear out?
