at no point did I say I was not moving, nor is this some kind of new Wii game - and what I have photographed is a perfectly calibrated and actual cycle computer (Bikehut 12 function)

My God. Is this still going???? 
I'll come clean.... only 'cos I can't stand winding you lot up any further
The figure IS genuinely arrived at - for a given value of genuine...
It's a wireless receiver running at 2.4GHz which happens to be the same as the Bluetooth transmitters in my keyboard, mouse and laptop at work.
When I was changing the battery and setting the computer up (tyre size, time, date, my weight and age) the speedo went utterly wappy and ended up showing that first figure.
After demonstrating this to one of the guys in the office it then showed the second figure.
I couldn't help but take photos of these and let you all wonder just how the hell a pushbike could in fact exceed the national speed limit.
Now, if you all go back (now knowing what I did) and read the responses you will see what a complete and utter git I am.
I thank you

Kieran you bugger, you made me swear to secrecy then you went and blew it. I could've pretended to have guessed then people might have thought I was really clever

46.7 mph is my record-down a steep hill on my old mountain bike about 12 year ago-with if i remember right a tail wind as well-boy was my legs spinning as well to get that speed

I hit 40mph down a big hill back into the village I live in on my Hustler pretty frequently. This is on a loose flinty double track so the thought of coming off at that speed isn't nice - still doesn't stop me going banzai down it every time though :-)
