There are plenty of different "highest speeds" recorded, so your question cant be answered unless you specify which kind of cycling you're thinking of:
- normal looking bicycle, unassisted, on the flat
- mostly normal looking bicycle, downhill
- special build, drafting behind a motor vehicle
- special build, streamlined, only human powered
- over a short distance - a sprint, or a longer run

∙ 14y agoDepends on what you think of as a bicycle, and how it's allowed to be ridden. Fastest on something standard-looking on flat ground is about 60 km/h. Fastest unassisted on a faired recumbent is 70 MPH. Then there are downhill records, people drafting behind screening vehicles ASO

What is the highest number for probability?
A probability of one is the highest, but this cannot be achieved a statistical population. It's sort of like the speed of light, it can only be approached but never reached.
What are the forces acting on an cyclist which is slowing down?
As the cyclist increases its speed, so too does the frictional force. The cyclist will keep accelerating until both the forces become balanced. The cyclist will then remain at a constant speed until one of the forces changes again. Hope this helps
It is often stated that many forms of transport transform chemical energy into kinetic energy Explain why a cyclist travelling at constant speed is not making this transformation?
Actually, a cyclist is. The chemical energy from the food that the cyclist ate is being changed into the kinetic energy on the bicycle. Even if the cyclist is traveling at a constant speed, there is some degree of resistance that must be overcome in order to maintain the constant speed.
Who has the world record for fastest cyclist?
The world record for the fastest cyclist was set by Dutch cyclist, Theo Bos, who reached a speed of 133.78 km/h (83.13 mph) in 2018 at the World Human Powered Speed Challenge in Nevada, USA.
If a cyclist takes 4 hours to travel 72 miles what is the cyclist and average speed in miles per hour?
1/18
How would you find the average speed of an cyclist during an entire race?
Find the distance of the race. Find the cyclist's start time. Find the cyclist's finish time. Elapsed time = Finish time - Start time. Average speed = Distance/Elapsed time.
If a cyclist takes 4 hours to travel W miles what is the cyclist and average speed in miles per hour?
W/4 mph
What sport does Clara Hughes play?
Clara Hughes is a cyclist and speed skater.
When a cyclist is going downhill what makes his bicycle speed up?
It has to do with gravitational pull.
Is a master's degree the highest that can be achieved?
No, a master's degree is not the highest degree that can be achieved. A doctoral degree (Ph.D., Ed.D., etc.) is typically considered the highest level of academic achievement in most fields.
How fast does a spaceship go?
The highest speed ever achieved by a manned vehicle is 39,895 km/hr (24,790 mi/hr). It was set by Apollo 10 in 1969.
Is the speed of light the highest speed possible?
It is believed that the speed of light is the highest possible speed.
