Man Goes 82.4 MPH - On A Bicycle

Sam Whittingham from British Columbia has set a new record in the World Human Powered Speed Challenge.
Whittingham’s speed of 82.4mph beat by a whisker his previous record of 82.3mph, set in 2008. That may not sound fast, but when you consider that it’s twice the speed that Chris Hoy, the triple-Olympic-medal-winning cyclist, can hit on the track, it puts the feat in perspective. Whittingham, 37, is truly taking pedal power to another level.
