The fastest speed ever achieves by a human without a machine?

I will answer this one with two catagories, where you live afterwards and where you don't. For surviving, I think the fastest a human has ever gone with no mechanical assitance is about 26 mph in a running sprint. For not surviving, the human body in freefall can reach speeds of around 120 mph before being limited by terminal velocity. However, if you had no machines involved there would be no parachute, so you would not survive the experience.

This answer is wrong. Speed skating is non-mechanical and people skating can reach speeds of over 30 miles per hour. Skates are just blades attached to your feet and are not "mechanical". We could call them aids but they are definitely non-mechanical. Japanese Joji Kato is the world record holder for the 500 meter sprint where he averaged 14.58 meters/second which is 32.39 mph.

What is the age limit for cycling in Olympics?

This depends on the discipline. Thoroughbred racehorses are backed, or taught to wear a saddle, as yearlings and raced as two-year-olds. Most people frown on this because it causes the horses to wear up and die young. Dressage, show jumping, eventing etc. requires more intensive training, and a seven or eight year old horse is only at the beginning of his career. (By this age a successful racehorse would have been retired from racing and used exclusively for breeding for several years). Haute ecole, or high school, horses must be trained for even longer. These 'performing horses' are not often competed with and are usually seen in public demonstrations of horsemanship. The most famous haute ecole establishment is the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, responsible for making Lipizanners famous. Difficult dressage manouvres such as the piaffe, capriole and levade take many years to teach to a horse, and haute ecole horses only start performing around age 13.

What are the rules for cycling olympics?

Bicycle racing started out as road races, and that has remained fairly recognizable over the years. People ride faster, team tactics have become more developed but that's the main points about road racing.

Then there was the track racing, the single events(time trial) as opposed to the group events that sprung out of road riding.

But as the bike developed into several specialized versions (BMX, MTB etc) these too developed their own forms of competitions.
