as long as your this side of the dirt, there are possibilities of speed improvements.
First see your doctor, is your bicycles engine operating at peak efficiency, if it smokes too much, drinks too much, is over it's optimum weight, then you can make big performance gains by fixing these issues. Next get your bicycle properly fitted, a bicycle that does not fit right, will not give it's best performance. Now go out and ride, lots, the more you ride, the better you get at it. You can always get a bicycle that is lighter and better geared, but you need to fix the other stuff first.
