As fast as you cn pedal it. Olympic Cyclist and IRONMAN triathlon winner, John Howard set a 152.2 Miles per Hour speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats near Wendover, Utah on July 20, 1985.
This is very much dependent on how fit you are, what surface you're cycling on and what your bicycle is like. On road, on a racing bike, with thin slick tyres, the answer would probably be around 20mph average speed on the flat. If you're fitter, it will be higher. On a mountain bike with fat treaded tyres, you'll be doing well if you get above 15-20mph. On hills everything slows down or speeds up, depending if it's up or down.
No way of telling. Plenty of riders can hit 50 km/h on the open road. Track bikes are even faster. Faired recumbents even more so. DH bikes on special courses can go well over 100 km/h. Then again, some people will struggle to reach 20 km/h unless there's a slope to help them.
John Howard set a bicycle speed record on July, 20 1985. This was accomplished while drafting behind a specially designed vehicle to decrease the aerodynamic drag against John almost to nothing. In doing so, Howard was able to accelerate to an incredible 152.2 mph. This feat is known as "Motor Pacing." The drafting speed has since been bested by a fellow from Europe at 167.

However the more recognized record is the one that is set by a bicyclist racing without the assist of anything to draft from and on flat ground. Canadian rider Sam Whittingham piloted a bicycle with an aerodynamic shell built around it to 81.5 mph on his own in the desert in Nevada, making that the Official bicycle speed record.
The fastest speed is 80 mph
Depends on how you categorise riding. There has been aerodynamic recumbent bikes on the flat roads that have clocked 82mph which is the current fastest top speed from last I checked (set in 2002)

Downhill on road bicycles has reached to a little bit above 65mph. downhill motorpacing I've seen exceed 100mpg

Then there has also been motor pacing techniques to test a cyclists speed which a pro can do that at around 100mph or so. however The fastest speed achieved on a bicycle was 204.73 kph (127.243 mph), by Jose Meiffret (France), July 16, 1962, on the German Autobahn from Freiburg, behind a car (see below Events).
