Current world record for a bicycle(unpowered) is 81 miles per hour. Sam Whittingham
name of bike
Varna Diablo II
A $50 K-mart special will go faster if thrown off a high enough cliff
If packed in the luggage compartment of a concorde faster than mach 1
Bad rider + very good bike or streamliner = slow
very good rider + bad bike = moderate
very good rider + half way decent bike = fast
very good rider + very good bike = 10-15% faster
very good rider + streamliner = world records

If you're talking about a typical production bike and not a recumbant. The Cervelo P3 Carbon has won about half of the ProTour time trials in which it was entered (it won the most by any one manufacturer), and more Ironman triathlons were won on a P3 Carbon than on any other bike model.

The rider has more to do with speed than the bike.
