Cycling has a great history, this photo is my mates mum getting ready to start a time trial back in the day. She was fast and did really well but perhaps the rider that really leads the way in terms of what could be done on traditional equipment, admittedly drilled full of holes to make it lighter is Alf Engers who in 1978 broke the 50 minute barrier for 25miles with 49-24seconds.
What this must mean is that on a modern road bike you can go pretty fast without a time trial specific machine and potentially cause chaos at the local mid week time trial.
Have fun, go race your bike....
