How This Cyclist Hit 184MPH and Set the World Record 

james ochoa-king 😆 I am dead

Had a good laugh from this

Or a dog

lol

184

If she went opposite of the worlds rotation, she was actually the slowest bicyclist.

Splat Tim 🧠 blown

What’s a motercycle?

Taxicrabs and murdercycles

@@splattim3437 - Dennis Burfoot CENTIPEDE This worm they call the Centipede, was crawling on a car. The distance that it traveled for a worm was not too far, But how the wind was blowing it scarce could navigate And from the back and to the front it's course was laid out straight. His fifty legs on either side he raised with utmost care, And set his toes to grip and hold so as not to blow off there And while he valiantly did try to go from aft to fore The car was going down the road at fifty miles or more Little did the creature know how swiftly he did fly It was for him to crawl along and not to wonder why. The man that held the steering wheel and made the car to go, Thought he was just going for a ride and little did he know. While the country side he knew beneath his wheels rolled by Twenty times the speed he drove above him moved the sky. And while he thought he traveled west the opposite was true, For with the turning of the earth it was backwards that he flew. And yet there was a greater speed with nothing to compare, The earth in orbit 'round the sun, a year from here to there. So crawl on little centipede and relate to what you see, Leave Einstein then to theorize on relativity.

Tnx

There's records for alot dumber things. Like breaking blocks of ice in 1 minute or like collecting fishing lures

@@cutup1999 I’d rather see that

It is she took the record from fred rompeiberg i know this because hes from my country lol

@@koenoder4323 then don't watch this??

@@HaltoxTV I’d rather win the lottery See the flaw in your reasoning?

@@alexandramarberry1023 That´s unlikely, since Tour de France drivers are already that fast.

only downhill. On a flat straight its around 40 mph

I can tell you it would not be a woman..

If you use the aerovelo eta, about 90 mph.

@@AccAkut1987 Bro tour de france cyclists sprint speed is like 78km/h which is more than 40mph

@@TristanPopken nice

BUT... You're unlikely the first woman who makes that calculation :O

When you stand does that mean your standing at the fastest speed...

Casey Pawlowski wow good job so impressive

Laika doesn't approve this comment

You forgot Laika.

She reach the top speed using her strength, She deserve the credit, what she attempt was really dangerous, imagine going at 180 mph with your body in your worst possible aerodynamic pose, and you go a bit to the side and suddenly you found 180 mph wind in front of you, you would fly far away and die. The ones who vote negative on the video, clearly does not understand that fact.

Y'all saying Laika but Laika was the fastest dog *out of the world*

@@AngelLestat2 r/wooooosh

hahahaha savage

Only up to 110 mph. The rest is her pedaling. The car is only there to keep th wind out of her way.

Yup she not start from 0

If she did not pedal from 0 this is no record for me

billyfromtheusa I thought Evandro Portela did?

This is the most pointless and fake records of all time. Only people with the intelligence level of a goat will find this endeavour meaningful

Ah, affirmative affirmative

Jeffery Thompson oh yeah

Oh yeah yeah

Jeffery Thompson oh yeah yeah

Oh yeah yeah

Car is designed to go straight, that is capable of going 700MPH following a straight line on the road. It can drive without steering

@@AllenHanPR No, that car can't do 700, maybe 200+, and the driver cant go slower than the bike, or the bike will crash, and if you go too fast, the bike will hit the air and crash, probably killing her. On top of that, the car does not go dead straight, you have to make very fine adjustments to stay straight, and to keep the bike behind you

Tonykarter 88 nah biking is harder

Tonykarter 88 just a team effort tbh

@@justlivin3998 yeah the biker definitely has the harder part.

Hahahahahaha yes

Ever heard of Reddit? Ahh I seen you're not a man of culture

Nah nah PH got the best comment section

thank you. your comment is the only one not belittling her achievement and the risk she took

@@liloruf2838 if you’re talking about the people saying “fell of a plane while trying to do a pop-shovet in its wing. Now im the fastest skater in the world” I really don’t think they are discrediting her efforts. Its just a joke made out of the goal of the world record while also exaggerating the way its done. In general they are probably not discrediting her accomplishment.

@Hussein Abbas and that's the only way you can still pedal at that speed

@@liloruf2838 what??? You crazy or something, or can you not understand humour?

RUBBISH

I mean she got released from the tether at like 130 mph and continued cycling by herself up to 184

@@lilqueso1742 i mean did you see what speed she was released at? I wouldn't put it past it being like 160 or even 170 then with no aor resistence you could easily beat this

@@lilqueso1742 So technically she pedalled 54mph without wind

@Andrew Vaillancourt cheating then. she just add abit of energy to increase the speed and its easy because the bike has super high gear ratios and its already at high speed. why not just tethered to a buggati drive 300 and call it a day?

Imagine doing a death defying feat, achieving a world record with the parameters of how it is expected to be done, but be nitpicked by some random dude in the RU-vid comment section.

Wait I don't get it? What does that dragster do

@@tajwarjamil6186 The dragster gets her up to speed so she can start peddling on her own power, the gear reduction would make starting this bike almost impossible. It also provides a windshield as the wind resistance at those speeds would be nearly impossible to overcome.

@@twirdman2 not only a windshield, the dirty air push her from behind, It's kinda sucked in

@@Jackrece yeah the hole inside the windshield is basically a vacuum. Still a cool record though.

She is peddling. I think I half the people didn’t watch the video.

well its not much eengineering either. theres plenty of backyard mechanics that go to Bonneville and run 180+ MPH.

@Carl Klinkenborg hahaha, You people are gonna make me dead today, Too much of laughter.

@@TrashPanda2801 180 isn't hard with a V8 and enough boost. in this case the engineering challenge was to make a 150lbs mass go 180+ with only half to three quarters a horsepower to propel it. i bet the raw cost to make the one bike was in the tens of grand, and the development cost was in the millions.

And here I was just thinking wait till there is a better bike. Can still use the crazy lady and her driver.

And he was a man.

But did he do it on a bicycle?

This.

I cant tell if you think Neil Armstrong and Lance Armstrong are the same person....

Oh, never knew he was outside the rocket while going that fast, thanks for clearing it up.

Maybe because she didn't get towed after 110mi/h... If you think she achieved nothing then I would love to see you doing it.

@@TristanPopken give him a custom bike, a specialized vehicle, and a team of professionals to do the heavy lifting. I think he'd manage.

Tristan Popken I’m pretty sure I would be able to do it about x2 times faster

Tristan Popken it really is pathetic

MMD You’re an idiot lol

????

@@gabrieldoudna6570 it’s figuratively not literally

It's not about the dragster, it could most definitely go faster. It's limited by what the cyclist could do.

@@lazarnedeljkovic5615 I think this was meant to be a joke

@@robinrumpfkeil9546 it is an insult

@@robinrumpfkeil9546 eehh, looking at it now it probably is, I was just annoyed with the idiotic comments on this video. I replied to this one because I didn't feel like writing an essay about why op is stupid

@@lazarnedeljkovic5615 I understand you on this one. I replied to quite a few asshole comments here

what's wrong with that?

Well technically, she was towed to ~150 and accelerated under her own power to 184.

Brian Bethea no not even close

She literally used the physics of Aerodynamics to push her up to that speed

Brian Bethea she used the vortex created by the slipstream to push her bike into the back of the car. not her own power

You're so right

correct

But this is the way it has been done from the beginning. Agreed it is assisted but these are the rules as they say.

Nah dude thats like saying NFL sucjs because its not Rugby. Drafting is just a different sport record. There is a record for fastest open cycling as well.

@@realMaverickBuckley These comments are full of folk who'd be triggered by any% glitch speed runs.

Infinite bless you good sir 👏

I refuse to like

Shaneb73 wrong

its not pulling its a pacer to stop the wind from interfering

@@deanlycett-amin1903 they get pulled up to like 160 or so

@@Johnny-tq9no she got towed up to 110MPH, then it was all pedal. Still, incredibly impressive.

Erick Rodríguez it’s pretty much like pedaling in space there is almost nothing to counter while speeding up other than rolling friction and that is easy to counter. I’m pretty sure any decent cyclist could pull his off. I’m sure if that car would go up to 250 mph and she would let go, they would have called that a new record, which it shouldn’t be

Except that is not what she did. She accelerated. She was not released at 184 MPH. She didn't reach that speed until around mile marker 5, these are mile markers from when she was released not when they started driving. The goal was to release her around 110 MPH and given they had the GPS working on the actual record attempt that is likely the speed they released her at. Might have been slightly faster, was not likely any slower.

That's how a lot of athletic records are made passable. Not just this one

Essentially. It's a easy record. Right gearing, hold the turbulence. Better the bike better the chance. Next tech increase will be the draft vehicle. Though it will be limited in MAX speed due to needing to create turbulence

@@brutongaster8184 but its bs, its not FAIR.

@@brutongaster8184 don't forget that world records can be broken by using a better physical technique. But people improve themselfs too. Like eating better things that helps you get more concentrate or makes you healthier .

To be specific, she is being propelled forward by the vortex from the dragster's windscreen. A difficult and dangerous stunt indeed but not the "world's fastest cyclist", the fastest bicycle riders are on the International Space Station.

aka SHE:S DRAFTING THE VEHICLE.... you know... because the air at that speed would slow back down to normal resistance.. like 30 mph.... lol ps no human can pedal passed that, the resistance becomes greater then they're pedaling strength (being even if you had infite gears) so.. the car basically creates a vacuum behind it at that speed, and thats the ONLY thing keeping her at speed. so she just followed a car up to 180 mph... woohoo... anyone can do that.

Why not just ad anoter gear? :)

its no different than riding in a vacuum, sure there were high winds side to side, but thats equivalent to somebody riding a bike behind a car from 0-45 mph.

I've ridden in pacelines moving up to 27-28 mph. It's an amazing feeling. You try to keep about one wheel diameter of space between your bicycle and the one ahead of you, but it takes very steady riders to make it work, and good communication is critical when the peloton needs to slow down. If your front wheel overlaps and touches the back wheel of the cyclist ahead of you, it will cause you to crash because you lose the ability to steer.

That's the real thing most people don't see here. It's not that she was tethered, it's that she's using the drag of the vehicle itself. That's the real "cheat." It's not a "windscreen" or anything. It's literally the suction of the air pressure behind the vehicle.

@@apocalypseap So you're saying that she didn't need to pedal at all, because the low pressure behind the dragster would keep her pulled in?

ItzJordxnHD 120

It was made by using a shell built around the bike for Aerodynamics and was geared very well

ItzJordxnHD Well riding down a steep volcanoe still counts as pedalling and doesn‘t require a car. That record is about 200km/h

150

184 mph... she wasn't being pulled after 110

the old record was behind a car so....

Records are made to be broken!

Just like hymens! @@15blackfox

@@alexteoh9038 She used the same car that Fred used. Just as in 1995 when the men's record was set.

@Gary McMichael 1. You *still* have to pedal real fast and for a loooong time. 2. If you get out of the drag (really easy at those speeds) you're in a world of sh*t. 3. INERTIA still works on her and the bicycle. Some serious forces at those speeds. "Totally dumb." The dumbest people always say that about anything they don't understand.

@@paulallen8109 clown

She's towed up to the speed that the high gearing makes it impossible to pedal below. When pedalling becomes possible, she is released.

you all took the opportunity to minimize women if it were man you would have minimalized that point and said it was mostly pedaling still hard to do etc.

@@bryancomeaux4961 send evidence

Records were meant to be broken, blame the first guy in the 1800s.

me to... this isn't a record either.. so.. being dragged by drafting a vehicle it is :-\ pointless.. she missed then land speed record by 550 mph lol

@@harleyme3163 towed to 130-140 mph and disconnected then she rode for more than 1 mile under her own power. Regarding if this is a record, look up the wiki page for cycling records, start reading from the top and tell me the first name you read.

@@craigborrenpohl1233 You don't understand physics at all. The air was pushing her forward. She was fully assisted by the vehicle in front for the entirety of the ride, or else she would have came out of the slipstream at the 110 mark and did it on her own. But she did not do that, because she could not.

Ruben Gardiner that would have been the real record of the day

she was towed until about 110 mph, and for the rest of the time until 184 mph, she was pedaling

either way its not legit id like to see her do it from a standing start... smh

@@josephius she was getting vacuumed by the drag racers windshield. Still cheating

UpDog at the start there is but then it detaches

A cable towed her up until 110 mph then she was on her own and used her legs to get the rest.

They did different speeds for different runs

The gear reduction on the bike was so extreme that apparently the slowest she could pedal it by herself was 110mph. What happened when she said that was that she had been released going too slowly ("about 105"), so she had trouble pedaling properly.

William Donaldson They meant fastest person in the world on a bicycle, not the fastest person overall.

@@paulallen8109 neither is she

It is a fixie.

Paul McB if she was on a fixie her legs would of been noodles

The bike she rode has no freewheel in the hub or bottom bracket - it's a 'fixie', just the same as any other bike with no freewheel, just geared a lot higher.

@@nathan-sw8kr It's a fixie with an insanely high gear ratio, hence the "double reduction" gearing. It's something like a 31 to 1 gear reduction based on the numbers in the video. That's what allows her to go 180 mph without her legs turning to jelly

It is a fixie but she cheated since they had her towed until she was pedalling fast enough

A classic meme.

not even her, time to rob the place

KEKW

if you can keep flying after that rocket for a while, yeah

No it just means you're an idiot for jumping out of a rocket at 176000 kpm 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It pulls her until 110mph, then the cables are released and then she uses the slipstream of the vehicle so there isn't barely any wind resistance as she pedals.

which is why it's the overall land speed record _for a paced bicycle_ .. rather than the land speed record _for a jet car_ ... _for a motorcycle_ .. .. _for an unpaced cyclist in a human powered vehicle_ with an aeroshell .. or just the land speed record -- as in the fastest thing ever propelled across the ground -- as opposed to the air or water speed record
