Role of aero clear in record-setting 86 km/h "bicycle"
A new record was set a few days ago in a human-powered vehicle / velomobile: nearly 86 km / hour, sustained for 1 hour.
https://www.gizmag.com/go/5830/ Of particular note is the record for a "traditional" (non aero) bicycle: 49.7 km/h https://www.gizmag.com/pictures/hero/5830_6070642658.jpg |
And this has nothing to do with aero, but something to do with cool custom bicycles...
https://www.atomiczombie.com/ makes some really cool machines: tandems, low-rider recumbants, trikes, and various other crazy & fun looking bikes. I particularly like that he makes them out of old parts and encourages home-made & affordable. Seems like a resourceful & creative guy. Check his gallery - there's some great short videos of the bikes in action. https://www.atomiczombie.com/product/...ltawolf-tn.jpg If I wasn't making a ForkenSwift or fiddling with my car all the time, I'm pretty sure I'd be making bikes like these. |
