Sam Whittingham holds the land speed record of 83mph on a flat surface, set 2009.
Other men have been faster going downhill, or drafting behind a motorized vehicle, but it is pointless to keep track of such records which have more to do with equipment or terrain than the athlete.
Can't answer the question really, but I seem to recall watching in the 80's a tv programme of the likes of Tomorrow's World, that featured a bicycle with an outrageously large front sprocket and an equally outrageously small rear sprocket.
The rider was immediately behind a fairing mounted on a pickup truck that presumably reduced the wind resistance experienced by the rider to virtually zero. I don't remember the actual maximum speed attained by the rider, but it was well in excess of 100mph!
Anybody else remember seeing this programme?

thomas armandoThat's really a pointless question unless you specify what type of riding you're asking about - track, road, DH, Time Trial etc.Even then it's still quite uninteresting, as cyclists mainly race other cyclist. As long as you're the fastest of the pack, the speed as such doesn't really matter.
For a human-powered bicycle it's pretty pointless to talk about the fastest bike, as the rider is more important than the ride.
The rider
A bicycle often "coasts along".
A bicycle fork is the portion of a bicycle that holds the front wheel and allows the rider to steer and balance the bicycle.
The primary purpose of a low rider bicycle is not uncommon from the purpose of a low rider vehicle. It is mostly for appearances and it's even said that low rider bikes are more difficult to operate than a normal bicycle.
