You know, I kind of feel the undrafted record is more interesting.

Some old fart thinking he's a god. Probably going to be his new brag for social events now.

Any fit young cyclist that can put out some real power could do this with the drafting

Have you heard the story about Columbus and the egg? And also the one about the fox and the grapes?

He's right and this is one of those records that rich middle aged men/women do in order to brag about it to their rich middle aged friends.

"Unpaced" they're calling it

> Todd Reichert broke his own record again on September 17, 2016, to set a speed of 89.58 mph, or 144.17 km/h at the 2016 WHPSC.

Boomer, we all know you hate how disappointing your life has been but that doesn't mean you get to take it out on everyone else. Stop posting.

Who the fuck cares? It's a technological arms race. The Hour Record is more interesting.

The car kills air resistance but the biker still needs to overcome rolling resistance and internal friction. If you went downhill too there's no reason the bike couldn't match the car's top speed. They have road cars that can get close to 300 now, don't they?

Actually, why not just put the bike and rider inside the car and be done with it.
