One hundred twenty.

The custom carbon-fiber bike, fitted with motorcycle tires, begins to drift a little bit, right to left, left to right. Mueller exhales under her matte-black helmet, steadies herself in her crimson-leather jumpsuit and keeps pedaling. Her red ponytail flickers from beneath her helmet.

Mueller may be hard-wired for racing, it turns out. Both of her parents are thrill-seekers. When Myron Mueller turned 70, he celebrated by riding a bicycle around the perimeter of the continental U.S. It took him 9½ months. Denise’s mother, Anna, competed in demolition derby racing before Denise was born. On her 80th birthday, Anna sky-dived from an airplane.

Gotta have some fun! "125 feet with a single pedal stroke" What's the gear inch on the beast?

[Loud Mime]

I jumped with a lot of wimmin sky divers who would disagree.

there are "rules" ;-)

[DUMBGRUNT]

From article:
Double-reduction gearing and drivetrain - The pedals are connected to a first reduction gear; that gear is connected to a low-speed pinion with one more shaft. This pinion is connected to a second reduction gear mounted directly to the back wheel.

Swag estimate from photo, 80:11 front 100: 14? to wheel??? Yes I could zoom in and count the teeth, takes too much time.

How fast can she go without a draft car?

[XEHRpa]

Monica Lewinsky??

[DUMBGRUNT]

She soon becomes one of the best female bike racers in the U.S., not just on the road, but also in downhill mountain bike, cross-country and track racing. In her junior career, Mueller will amass more than a dozen national titles, and take a silver medal in the downhill mountain bike race at the world junior championships.
