Ive done 57mph on a push bike, down a big hill while at a race in Switzerland a few years back.
Same event, on a hill later in the race I saw the sickening sight of a bike broken in pieces, and the human sized dent in the side of a car which had pulled out on someone at probably going at a similar speed. Daren't look at the rider being tended to at the side of the road, wasnt fatal luckily.
Fasted in a car was about 130mph and just before I was pulled over by State Troopers having being clocked at 127mph, fine was about $150, had I been going (I think) 8mph faster it would have been straight to clink. Cant remember the car, nothing special just an average American Couple but large engine.
