Top speeds on a road bike

♥Steady riding on a flat section of about 20 km means speeds of about 45 km/h
Sprinting is about 60 km/h.
Speeds on descents are usually 60-70 km/h but here a lot depends on how much someone wants to risk, because they can be much higher.
Climbs in the mountains? The steeper the climb, the lower the speed, but on a "standard" climb of about 7% it will be about 20 km/h
