Fastest speed on a road bike? Haven't ridden a road bike since I was in elementary school. (Stopped riding for years, until I was given the above bike back in '98.) But on my current bike, fastest I've done was 27.5 mph, speeding downhill. I'm not quite a turtle, but I'm not a racer. Just slow-to-moderate speeds, steady, I'll get there eventually. I like to look around, see where I'm going, stop now and then to appreciate where I'm riding.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: ???

Most memorable moment on my bike: While doing a bike trip in Ireleand, Ring of Kerry, after a 4.5 mile steady incline that felt like it took several hours to complete, I finally arrived at the top, to see a lovely statue of the BVM. I'm a nice Jewish girl, but I thanked her profusely for any help she may have rendered it getting me up that hill, and for the rest of the day's trip being downhill and/or comparitively flat!

Most fun ever had on a bike? Same trip as above. Despite all the challenges (road conditions, traffic, the need to stop every few hundred yards and just ooh and aah or take a few billion pictures), it was an amazing holiday.
