>>1940162when I had a speedometer and a bike with race gears, I would regularly hit over 40mph on a very prolonged downhill while traffic was gridlocked. this was mashing top gear . on the day with the most favorable conditions I was able to push it to 46 before the hill bottomed out.
but that was an unusual segment. I rode through traffic as fast as I could every day back then but besides that one place I never got above 35ish, if that.
there's a hill I take nowadays that I top out on but my gears aren't as tall on my bike now and I don't have a speedometer hooked up anymore
