I came off my bike about a month ago doing 50mph, I shudder to think what coming off at 80 would be like!

Isn't it cheating having a wind break dragging you along?

Being so close he should have saved a lot of time and wasted effort and held on to the back of the car.

Easy to hit 80 on a bike - put a magnet on every spoke.

Impressive, but can he get it up Mow Cop?

Totaly pedestrian.


The highest speed ever achieved on a bicycle is 268.831 km/h (166.944 mph) by Fred Rompelberg (Netherlands) behind a wind-shield fitted to a dragster car at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA on 3 October 1995. It should be noted that considerable help was provided by the slipstreaming effect of the lead vehicle.

1/10 the speed of sound (82 mph in old money) on a "bike" with no car to help
