On a long descent, I've maxed out somewhere around 40 mph. In the places I usually ride these days, my top speed is probably more like 25mph. I usually don't try for high top speeds, just high average speeds.

This is just estimates (partly based on how many pedal strokes per second I think I'm doing calculated against the gearing/wheel size I use), because I've never been a bike-computer user.
