The Fastest Human Powered Bicycle

bicycles FTW

totally nuts but great spirit ! What life without fun. Ordinary is boring.

I enjoyed seeing this again. A remarkable feat of strength, training, skill and a really fine machine. Congratulations.

OMG the guy pedalling reverse for direct transmission!!!!!!! (03:15) the fastest "reverse biker" on the world?!!! cool video, thanks.

That is 81mph which is 130km/h

omg 82km/h hes superman or sumthin ?

the fastest human power, no the fastest free rider.

how is he the fastest human? If I jump on my bicycle and ride it down Mount Everest the gravity will push the wheels to spin 3 times faster until I lose focus so does that make me the fastest guy in the world? LMAO

sounds dangerous

you are so right my friend. Stupid car culture. But the fat americans need to ride in a Hummer or one of these huge Fords. Redneckmotherfuckers.
Motorbike is better.

she said hes the fastest human but hes the fastest human on a bike thats powered by humans

lol

Wow !
Shows how a car is sooo unnefficient...
(ok its also because for moving 1 person of +- 70 kg, it need s to move the 1.2 or 1.5 ton aroudn it... lol)

Climbing or downhill Alps ?

makes you wonder why the tour-de-france banned these bike as i see them as the way forward

Damjan Zabovnik is from Slovenia, not Russia. IMOP a genius. I've seen him race and his bike up close. No one's ever gone faster backwards!

those russians ay

Imagine. He breaks the world record. He is released from his bike by his team mates. He triumphantly punches the air... and seconds later is given a speeding fine from a police officer.

BAD ASS DUDE

the dimple effect would most certainly help where the canopy joins. instead of using regula tape, use tape that has been drilled out to make the surface like one of a gold ball. guarenteed results!!

i race a different type of 3 wheeled HPV for 24 hours in australia..ive in fact had wind tunnel time in a vehicle with "golf ball" dimmples around the surface where the canopy(outer shell) was its widest. it was interesting to see that it did help when it came to air seperation. the idea, in my opinion, certainly has a lot of potential. no formula 1 cars arent using it but time trial bikes and helmets are experimenting with the idea. it would be worth experimenting with in your kind of racing.

ha ha, the russian guy with a backwards bike.

fantastic

"Kevlar is what bullet proof vests are made of!"
When are we going to get over that?
If this was 3000BC we'd be saying "This bike is build of bronze. That's the material that everything is made of."

LOL.

The "dimples" reduce the drag and the spinning helps the ball go up.

I sure would like to know you broke a new record using "dimples" on your fuselage. :)

I started my prototype and got to meet the Canadian HPV association working on a submarine, but I find myself short of time and funds, maybe you can test this "dimple" effect on your fuselage.

Do you see a possibility to try this out?

I'd like to go play a round of golf with you testing plain and dimpled golf balls. :)
