Fastest cyclist on earth
Bicycles are generally not known to be the fastest mode of transportation except in severe traffic jams. But this Sam Whittingham dude has really proved everyone wrong by setting a stunning 82.3 mph world record with his state-of-the-art bike. The bike-builder, from British Columbia, beat his own previous record of 81.02 mph to become fastest cyclist on the planet during a stunning run down Highway 305 just outside Battle Mountain, Nevada. The cyclist, a former member of Canada's national racing team, used a lustrous teardrop-shaped bike dubbed the Varna Diablo III designed and built by bike designer Georgi Georgiev to take home the $26,748 deciMach Prize for Human-Powered Speed. I don’t know about anyone else, but this exceptionally inspiring story is making me wanna use develop a superhero comic book, if you know what I mean! Watch Sam Whittingham’s record setting run in the uber-cool vid below.
