maybe that will help a bit. Best thing though would be to stop and talk to an officer someday.

p.s.: don't Blue at all, red only in the back ( and you can only have the two tail lights red plus on additional one; like the red bar some cars have on the spoiler), and green would be an issue (I was stopped for having a neon green light on my license plate).

How fast can a bike be ridden?

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).

Is it legal to ride a dirt bike in long island?

It's kind of a grey area, I actually own a Electric Bike store on Long Island called Long Isalond Electric Bikes and I have yet to have a customer have legal trouble. There was a law developed in the 1980's making motorized bikes illegal, but that was before electrice bikes existed. The federal Law has since made a law declaring electric bikes with a top speed of 20 or under legal for use on public roads, but NY has not developed any new legislation.

Is it legal for a 13-year-old to ride a dirt bike in Florida?

Only someone with detailed knowledge about the Florida laws can tell you the exact answer, but usually the law doesn't care as long as the engine is weak enough, there's a definition about an "assist" engine. But once you go past this power restriction your bike is seen as a scooter or a moped instead, and will then have to comply with all the laws relating to that. Which is yet one excellent reason why motorized bicycles aren't such a hot idea.
