Over 170 mph
The last time I saw an Englishman move that fast was when we were chasing them after the Englandv Scotland game 1977 Wembley Stadium.
Of course it has to be assisted no human can possibly pedal that fast, now I know guys who own Triumph Rockets who have never been above 100mph on their bike and this guy is on a pushbike doing 170mph that my man is one set of big balls.
 

So how did SHE do it Einstein? Huevos?
 
It really is incredible, though, imho it's not a super meaningful record other than "giant brass balls" since its facilitated by a draft vehicle.
 
If we knew the gear ratio we would know how fast his legs were going....he would need to keep his feet on the pedals too!!...unless he was just sitting there getting dragged in the slipstream?...then it's a farce...just getting towed by air...if there was a wild bull chasing him he might set a record...maybe .
 
I read somewhere a guy hit 200+mph on a stationary bike (no wind resistance). But he had to be "towed to 100 mph" just so he could pedal the **** thing.
 

That's exactly what they do, tow them up to high speed in a slip stream and then the rider let's go of the tow and pedals like mad to stay within the slip stream.

Still a huge risk if they fall for sure, but the way the news outlets report it is slightly misleading.
