Did you know? In the UK, speed limits only apply to motor vehicles; meaning that if your body can handle it, you can legally cycle faster than a car is allowed to drive on a given stretch of road.
The fastest speed on a production cycle, unassisted (ie without the slipstream of a pace vehicle) is 210.4 km/h, which is almost 2x that of the highest speed limit for a motor vehicle in the UK (112 km/h)

World record shattered! Speed biking on snow at 210 km/h.

Austria's Markus Stoeckl, 33, set a new world record at the weekend for series mountain bikes on a renovated high-speed La Parva run in the Chile's Alps when he hit a speed of 210.4 km/h (130.7 mph). He shattered an eight-year-old record by an incredible 23 km/h (14 mph).
