Here are all the (insane and incredibly precise) things it takes to ride a bike faster than any human being ever has. (From 2018)
16, 2018, Denise Mueller-Korenek broke the bicycle land speed record of 167 mph, hitting 183.932 mph at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats. This story about the engineering and logistics behind this crazed effort originally ran on Thursday, September 13.
Accelerating past the takeoff speed of a Boeing 757 on a bike seems impossible, but a top-flight cyclist riding a remarkable bike and drafting the right vehicle piloted by the right driver can make it happen. That is, as long as everything—from physics to fitness, technology to team—works perfectly. Howard, who coached Mueller-Korenek when she was a junior, got her back into the sport with a simple truth: No woman had ever attempted a speed record. “That was like a match to gasoline,” says Mueller-Korenek.
