Speed! 130MPH speed. Not a bird, not a plane, it's a bike?!?!? Okay, so world records are just that. World records. And, well, crazy people, are just crazy people. Take a seemingly simple world record like the "bicycle speed record" and add a crazy Austrian, and you get this....
Yep, the new bicycle speed record of over 130MPH has been set by 33 year old (lucky to make it to 34) Markus Stoeckl on a standard issue mountain bike down a ski slope in Austria. I am sure, this made sense to someone when he first pitched the idea.
To see the full effect, and to hear what a 130MPH mountain bike sounds like as it roars past you, check out the video.
And, not worries family, I will continue to stick to my MUCH slower pace.
