The fastest landspeed on a bicycle is apparently 152.2mph, yes, that is so incredible i'll say it again 152.2mph. Claimed by http://www.canosoarus.com/08LSRbicycle/LSR%20Bike01.htm
I personally think 'drafting' a rocket is cheating.

The World Unpaced Cycling record was in 1986 at the 3rd international HPV scientific symposium at Vancouver achieved by Jim Glover on a Moulton AM7 with a speed of 51.29 mph over 200m (fully faired conventional riding position).
