This was actually done over a hundred years ago using a train as the support vehicle with a board track set up between the rails the top speed in that situation was a little over 120 MPH . The principle then and now are the same . The wind screen on the powered vehicle creates a vacuum that the ambient air rushes in to in order to equalize air pressure which at sea level is 14.7 PSI , if the windshield knocked it down to say 10 PSI you would have 4.7 PSI pushing on the back of this bike it doesn't seem like much but remember this is for every square inch assuming the rider is around 600 square inches and the bike maybe about 30 inches this is 2961.00 LBS of force pushing the Bike . And lets say the windscreen is not that efficient and only does half of that it is still 1480 LBS pushing on the bike , and it had to be towed up to speed . In reality using common calculations a 160 Mph Vehicle weighing say 150 LBS with 630 SQ inch frontal area would require around 48 HP to attain 180 MPH the average human can make .4.0 HP and this is considering conditioned athletes so no you can not ride a bike at 180 MPH.

Why is everyone thinking she got towed? She was only towed until she reached a certain speed, then the tow line detached. In fact, well before she hit 184 mph, she was pedaling on her own!

[@soylentgreenb]

Because we understand enough physics to know that she is being towed. The car is moving the air along at 184 MPH; that means in the reference frame of the air she is moving at 0 MPH; there is no air resistance. That means there is only rolling resistance (which is 10 times bigger than at 18 MPH; and 10 times nothing is still almost nothing; only limit is the wheels must take it without the slightest bit of wobble) and no air resistance (which is 10^3 = 1000 times larger than at 18 MPH). That's just a first approximation; there is also a low pressure zone behind the vehicle with an inrush of air pushing her forward. She had to pedal very lightly with almost no effort to not hit the towing vehicle. The gearing is just there because she can't pedal at the required frequency without it. This "record" is a physics demonstration. It doesn't not require effort from the cyclist, only from the engineering team. It is also incredibly dangerous; if a wheel wobbles too much you will likely die. If you ride outside of the draft from the towing vehicle you would likely get knocked off and die. This is thus simultaneously unimpressive and very dangerous.

She didn't pedal from 157 to 184 "on her own", there was a vehicle in front of her to counter the air resistance. That's how stayer bikes are able to achieve those speeds. Early stayer bikes in the 1920s were limited to speeds in the 120mph range because the vehicles they followed could only do 120 130.

If you can pedal a highly geared bike to 180MPH with just rolling resistance to defeat then set a world record.

The comments here are like that line in Steve Martin's Grandmother's Song - "criticize things you don't know about". There are numerous "human powered vehicles" speed categories, and this is one of them. My god people, she was going 184 mph on a freakin' bicycle. 99% of you couldn't even do that in a car without killing yourself.

[@constantinosschinas4503]

it was not a bicycle, it was a 2m long speedster vehicle in a vacuum. practically a ton more stable than a hayabusa. wake up.

[@kbbpll7338]

constantinos schinas It was a bicycle with the equivalent of pedaling a 40 foot diameter wheel. Go ahead and try it.

Yeah but I can get a regular bicycle up to 70 miles an hour under my own power without a tow in

Bobby Hempel Going down which mountain? Because that's not under your own power. Using which specialized aerodynamic equipment on which perfectly flat road? Because on a regular bicycle the power requirement at 70 mph is not humanly possible. I call BS.

в чем прикол этого рекорда блять? ладно если бы она сама с места разогналась хотя бы до 150-200 км/ч а то так можно было ее вообще не отпускать и разогнать до хоть 500 км/ч и запустить на луну к херам

Ну хрен с ним, там спец велик на большую скорость. С место наверное педали не провернешь. Но хотя бы выехать изза машины надо было. Суть скорости именно в преодолении воздуха. Вот скажем разогнали бы до 250. А она выехала и разогналась бы до 260 хотя бы. Это значит что ее сил хватает. А тут блин...

[@picklerickisconservative2575]

She is towed up till 0:58 then releases the rope at that point she is going 167mph the guy said it and then because of the sheild at the back of the car that causes there to be nearly no are resistance, at this point she is pedalling all on her own on a flat surface with extra large bearings in the wheels and no air resistance allowing her to accelerate even further to 184mph without being towed so technically she did pedal a bike up to 184mph. There you go to all the ppl who said that this is fake, youre just dumb🤷‍♂️

[@Elec-DIY]

The low pressure zone behind the car probably created the drag necessary to go at that speed.

[@sacr3]

Uhh, yea no. The strength required to pedal at that speed is insane, the vacuum created by that block in front of her is basically doing all the work, she just has to keep up with it. This was just dumb.

[@asleep909]

For those who haven't read up on this: The bike had two chains that effectively lengthened the distance of travel for each pedal stroke (this isn't your basic TDF bike). The previous record was set in the same way. Staying upright on a bicycle and inside the slipstream at that speed is impressive in itself, and doing it on the rough surface of the Bonneville Salt Flats is a challenge of its own. The video is 2 minutes long, but maybe you should have noticed that this is merely a sample of footage that is coming from an upcoming documentary. I'm certain someone will attempt to beat the record...but since the previous record was set in 1995 with a few different challengers, I'd imagine it's not exactly the easiest feat in the world to accomplish...or it would have been done within the last 23 years?

[@KA1xxx]

What forks you running?

[@sethhartz6539]

The gearing was so large that she couldn’t start it herself, she needed to be towed. Anyone saying this is just cheating doesn’t know anything about what happened and why.

[@rdooski]

Thats why alot of bicycles change gears....

[@Aron-ru5zk]

rdooski if she had enough gears to do that, which would be about 70 gears, it would take about 16 hours of non stop max effort pedalling and a flat area without a single rock 2000 miles long, nowhere that flat and that big exists

[@rdooski]

They didn’t deal wind wind resistance at those speeds. They would’ve flown like a feather 🌬💨 It would be more relevant if I added pegs to my motorcycle & then once I get to 184, I pedal. Haha

[@JTLaser1]

The record for “Paced cycling.” She was towed to just over 157, and then, while in the slip stream of the car, including some forward moving air, she had to pedal the bike up to 183.9+ and STAY ALIVE until she got stopped. I have to wonder just how many of the skeptics and critics commenting on here have even gone over 100 MPH in a car, let alone a bike? Bunch of absolute geniuses. NOT!

So true. They're lining up to be carpenters, garbage men, mechanics, and do other lousy jobs... not. I wonder how these feminazis feel when they have to have their car fixed, or need a handyman for a repair. I guess they look the other way, close their eyes and yell LALALALALA and pretend women are the same while the men do all the real work. Then they vote with emotion and not facts. "Aww those poor - I need to vote to help them!" Not for a second realizing that money doesn't grow on trees, that we don't need any more deadbeats, and that said "victim" group would do away with many or all of the rights, freedoms, liberty, and safety that women have in a heartbeat if/when they could. If it weren't for the very men that women hate so much and blame for every evil in the world, they'd be living in a mud hut with a bone in their nose, beaten daily, and dying at the ripe old age of 30. But what do I know, I'm just a racist, sexist, homophobe, misogynist, islamophobe idiot who gets up early every day to work hard and pay taxes to support all the deadbeats, I mean sob stories, women love so much. /rant

How is this really a thing? A person, on a tethered bike, gets pulled to a speed and then is released to pedal some more on their own. The excessive speed is achieved by being pulled and by being in the 'wake' of the much faster vehicle. I think it would be a better description 'world record for high-speed slowing'.

[@songbird6248]

softscrubb she increased her speed after releasing from the tow.

[@mkx9257]

Wow... It would actually make more sense to u if u actually knew about cycling.... That bike aint an ordinary bike u would die but not be able to pedal it from a standstill.... It requires to be towed to a certain speed for the rider to even start pedalling.... The woman is towed to a speed and then the cord is cut and she increases her own speed after tht with her own strength.... It is physically impossible for a human to actually ride at tht speed.... Records hv always been set this way... Google it and u might start to appreciate the strength it must hv required
