i'm novice bike rider... i've hit 45.1KM/h on the road... my first time on the road too...
i waited for red light... and went to the other side where no cars were... then just PEDALED like crazy... switched gears (i have 12 on this bike...) to the fastest one... looked at my computer... boom.. 40+KM/h.... i couldn't believe i was doing it...
edit: just learned how to read... this old bike is a Giant Perigee... dun ask how old... i've searched the net with no luck...
