The World's Toughest Cycling Record

[@SkillsWithPhil]

That's some commitment.

[@mutantbaby1672]

He picked a leap year to do it. Smart move. LOL

[@howardhochheiser3204]

+Mutant Baby The record is not for a calendar year, its 365 consecutive days - one can start any day of the year.

[@LoneWolf-wp9dn]

+Mutant Baby would only be worth like an extra kilo a day

[@dannyman5609]

Lolz

[@DickShitFag]

139 208 is the new record set by Amanda Coker (24yo girl) !

[@sebo2001]

she was riding recumbent horizontal bike, 30 percent more aero, and you seat in the chair not on the saddle

[@pinkiepie1656]

Are you sure? I’ve never seen her on a recumbent during her record attempt.

[@WildOutdoorLiving]

@@sebo2001 She spent the vast majority of her time on a road and TT bike to my knowledge with the recumbent slipped in here and there.

[@sebo2001]

@@WildOutdoorLiving I have followed her very closely, 98% of the milage was done on recumbent, check her strava and average times. Still amazing but a bt misleding

[@leehargreaves7473]

Come on BikeRadar... no mention of Steve Abraham or Kurt Searvogel!!!!! They've both been out there for 11 months doing this !!!!

[@markusaurelious1150]

+Lee Hargreaves i was about to say the same thing. Been following Steve Abraham since I got into cycling and on Strava

[@MrDopeddoped]

330 km a DAY! every fucking day

[@Tad759]

All the best to Bruce as he attempts the record. I would agree with the other posts that question why Steven Abraham and Kurt Searvogel weren't mentioned in this slick and well produced piece. In fact, barring unforseen circumstances, we are less than two days away from Tommy Godwin's record falling to Kurt. Let's not pretend that there aren't other epic riders out there who have done, and are doing, the same massive effort.

[@patdud1979]

Damm and I thought 30k a day was good ad 300 to that holy shit 😳 my hat is off to you sir.

[@leehargreaves7473]

Would like to add that Steve Abraham didn't fly off to a sunny location, he just cycles out of Milton Keynes every morning and rides 200 miles, Sun, Rain, Wind or Snow (or broken leg) and he's 60,000 miles into it.

[@jamiewilkinsracing]

I'd like to have heard more respect from Bruce for Tommy Godwin's current record. It was set in 1939 on a 15kg bike and he rode through two harsh winters on crappy roads with minimal support. The equipment advantage here is massive - Godwin would have gone about 15000km further with this bike and kit. Nonetheless, it's a colossal challenge and very best of luck to Bruce.

[@adders1415]

Must eat a ton just to stop wasting away!

[@ru-yd4gd]

Is a aeroad the best option for that? Wouldnt a more "comfortable" bike suit it better especially when riding that much? Now idk if the aeroad is comfortable or not, but from watching videos people say that aero bikes are uncomfortable

[@cup_and_cone]

Is he going to beat whatever record Kurt Searvogel sets (which is likely going to be the new record)?

[@chap666ish]

Why no mention of Steve Abraham or Kurt Searvogel? Why?

[@WiltshireByways]

Good luck to Bruce. Tommy Godwin was an extraordinary athlete whose Wikipedia page is well worth reading.

Anabolic substances may be involved, I don't know how you can recuperate with 330 km every day, 365 days in a row. Even with tons of food

[@lucash41]

well...he's going to have to do more than 120,805km as Kurt Searvogel is almost certainly going to surpass the record this year. I was rooting for Steven Abraham myself, but unfortunately an accident really set him back on the record.

[@markifi]

this would be interesting to watch if it took place in a velodrome. one year time lapse of riding.

[@jeffjones2586]

When commuting 42 miles daily from 2006-2012 there were a couple years where I went over 12,000 miles. Once my pickup sat so long the battery went dead. lol The terrain was rolling mostly w/a 450 ft elevation difference between work and home. The climb was on the way home. Sometimes, I'd do 100 mile fixed gear rides on Saturdays. People thought I was a little crazy and maybe I was, but THIS is completely insane. Much respect.

[@LoneWolf-wp9dn]

American Kurt Searvogel has just taken it to 122500... the gauntlet has been thrown

[@torinstorkey]

Step 1: Find a long steepish straightish descent. Step 2: Find 2 very dedicated drivers. Step 3: Drive the climb and do the descent again and again every day. 2 drivers because you should be exceeding the speed limit of the road. Thus finishing that distance assuming half of your time is in the car and half on the descent at 100km/h and you do this for 10 hrs a day you should finish in 240 days.

[@kill3r111111]

Just looking at his strava... is he already behind his goal or is he starting next year?

[@PlantPedaler]

+kill3r111111 Nah mate that's just a regular week for him. He's a machine!

[@zachcalton2529]

+kill3r111111 2016

[@Themetalsurgeon]

If someone could pay my bills for the year I would do this

[@aaron___6014]

how about you save up a years pay and do it.

[@aurboda]

pussied out

[@christophh.1246]

Good luck! You will make it!

[@WildOutdoorLiving]

Not sure what happened to this guy but after Kurt narrowly surpassed the record, Amanda Coker crushed everyone.

[@sssssfGify]

That's one crazy sob, my hats off to you sir!

[@garylynch3897]

Would love his thoughts on the bike and wheels

[@JohnDoe-ot1vu]

seems like he's "cycling" away from his life problems, but still pretty impressive.

[@lautoka63]

+Luis Fajardo Or riding despite his problems ... As you say, impressive and good for him!

[@ryanlee294]

Damnn , really kudos and salute to you sir, would look upon you as my next achievemnet to target, currently dont have much time for cycling though...midst of studying, @ Singapore

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

So what happened to him? The video is now over one year old.

[@frogjob9581]

the saddle sores must be horrible

[@adi161994]

kudos to you young man !!

[@drasztikus]

omg,what a beast,good luck,all the best!!!

[@Josh-wb7ii]

Is he attempting it this year? I saw him attempt the month record earlier in the year on strava. It looks like Kurt will take the year record this year however.

[@iuricpeixoto]

Awesome stuff, but 330km a day for a year i believe that will be not possible, considering injuries,etc... Someone have information about the actual recordist?

[@peterhardie4151]

Good luck. Tough challenge given you can have all sorts of weather.

[@JustAnotherDayToday]

What a tremendous goal. Does he ride only flats or mix in some tough climbs?

[@jasonsimpson1969]

Your a great motivation good luck.

[@toolinc.collection1521]

on a canyon Aero bike I would try that record too

[@talibe801]

i wish he does well!good luck.

[@geoffreyhughes9979]

Good Luck.!

[@arlokkkk]

does anyone know what saddle he was using?

[@benjaminwolf9801]

I spy Boyd wheels on the bike! Nice!!!

[@magoomba]

so this is the guy that's got the KOM on every road I've been on

[@r.k.adventure1751]

I like this type of record, great job

[@finarollerz]

How many tires, wheels, chains do he go through? What happens I your sick?

[@Vifferboy]

331,5Km. per day!!!

[@sheuhauchow]

Truly inspiring!

[@christoff217]

Awesome ...man after my own heart

[@MIT2004]

I'm going to try this in 5 years

[@남양소주]

330km/day

[@MarvinCetiner]

nice guy. full respect.

[@mikeRobinsonCharlton]

Absolute LEGEND

[@stefankoole6132]

super great succes

[@gueroblanco]

I WANT THIS BIKE.

[@Dominator00000]

is he still on it ?

[@VectorNY]

How one can prove a record like this? I guess nobody follows such a rider every day to witness his record.

[@something2394]

Congratulations.

[@simonmoses4023]

good on you mate!!?

[@pen2199]

you what, come n have a go. ilike you fella

[@Themetalsurgeon]

WHAT IS HIS BIKE??? Please

[@bikeradar]

+Joe La Roche It's a Canyon Aeroad.

[@CJC94]

I thought Berkeley abandoned after a month?

[@saferider1094]

Yes he did , I just checked his strava account . He rode 900km last week and 20,000 since the start of the year , there is no way he can make more than 100,000km in 7 months

[@dickmartino9933]

I would do this but I have a sore knee.

[@Toastybear1]

fair enough!! i have but one question- how does one afford to do this?? :L

[@theotht]

Possible but hard,very hard.

[@oreosaysb00]

Remember in 1939, the bikes were heavy and had small gear ratios.

[@nachocl1]

song?

[@wsurjana]

Good luck ...... What saddle do u use?....

[@andysmith342]

+William Surjana Looks like the Selle Italia with Carbon rails.

[@johnnybravo7676]

Sweet bike

[@Clark24au]

the guy who holds the record done it on a bike that weighed 20kg! he could at least do it on a 10kg bike.

[@teroy45]

well,the record holder did not have strava. what if he added a couple of miles on the record.

[@lautoka63]

Go kiwi! You've got to be at least a little bit obsessive to achieve something like this and I wish you well.

[@capridenz]

That's incredible

[@393ege]

he is my idol

[@mrmgtphotography]

this is amazing

[@jeffbender2180]

i'd say ON the saddle rather than "in" the saddle:-)

[@netskymusic7257]

I did the math, you have to ride a contigous 8.5mph/13kmh

[@Bestoftherest222]

So was this observed or just taking his word?

[@robertcasey1708]

Bestoftherest222 calculated on strava

[@dannyman5609]

I did an 80 km ride today all I know is I'm awesome

[@MagliaNera]

Respect

[@denisosipov840]

Link to strava don't work.

[@bikeradar]

+Denis Osipov Apologies, it should work now.

[@denisosipov840]

+BikeRadar thanks, now is ok

[@ebrohman]

What make/model frame is he riding?

[@ebrohman]

mojaveman thanks, I though so. I want one. Hopefully they come to the USA

[@miltonmix1]

+Eric Brohman Hello I think you have to buy it online. Canyon works so. Or you can go to Germany and test one :)

[@31.8mm]

it's not a good kind of achievement. a good thing, if we do it excessively, then it's not a good thing.

[@omgwaffles09]

Just find a long hill and a friend with a car. Cycle down it. Drive back up. Repeat.

[@rexfest]

youre telling me his garmin didnt lose a ride in an entire year?

[@brandongrkman593]

The hats 205 miles per day…

[@experiment54]

seats too high

[@smokey7930]

the one who is mates with Harley

[@Pelaohe]

Master

[@Guoenyi]

How could you afford a bike like that having been drinking much.

[@EditioCastigata]

No car. No drugs, no kids, not "buying" a girlfriend/partner/wife, no time for other expenses… But then bikeparts last years, so 1800 quid divided by 3 years → 600 a year, 50 a month. Food will cost more.

[@iknownothing-m8c]

On a Chinese OEM frame?

[@JoeR1234-z9q]

+Dennis Mortensen Thats a Canyon Aeroad

[@iknownothing-m8c]

Ah! Couldn't see the Canyon-logo clear enough. ^_^ damn stealthy!

not much ..330 km per day...i know guys who do 300 km per day(5 days a week) on mountain bikes...give them road bikes and they will mash another world record...the only problem is that they cant afford expensive road bikes....

[@Smt_Glaive]

also i know a guy who hits 600 km on saturdays ..he has a road bike tho!!! cycling is catching up like crazy in india

[@redjumping]

+VIJAY OJHA 25km/h is nearly 13 hours for 330km, to say it's not much is rediculous

[@Smt_Glaive]

u dont have to believe it..i dont care..i am just saying..i know guys who do it...

[@cathoderay7202]

+VIJAY OJHA Hahahah yeah it's easy. 330km a day for 365 days. No problem. You should attempt the record man. Hahahaha You think Tommy Godwin had an 'expensive' carbon aero road bike in 1939? Hahaha you idiot.
