See the record for the fastest bike on the planet at speeds of up to 295km / h, on par with a car

Of course, bicycles alone and biological limitations, the laws of physics do not allow people to achieve such speeds. But if there is more support from a rickshaw, it is still an impressive record.

Recently at the Bonneville Salt Flats in the salt plain, USA, which is considered one of the 10 fastest roads in the world, ie with no limit on maximum speed, there has been a new record of middle speed. Bicycle vase is set.

On the stretch of about 5.6km, the special bike of driver Denise Mueller officially broke the speed record of the previous bicycle. Specifically, her bicycle reached an average speed of 295km / h, exceeding the previous record of 268km / h.

Of course, the car that Mueller uses is not a commercial vehicle. It is essentially a customized version, using 17-inch motorcycle rims and high-speed tires to lower the center of the car. The chassis is extended to both sides and machined by hand, supporting improved stability. Special shock absorber helps to eliminate vibrations when moving at high speed.

The dynamic design of the car makes it possible to move with respectable speed.

In addition, the car also has a steering wheel stabilizer, which helps to reduce hand shake, one of the causes that can be fatal for people pedaling at tremendous speeds of up to nearly 300km / h.

But the vehicle structure is only one part, the most important thing is that the Mueller-Korenek driver has to train very hard so that the body can adapt to the high-speed cycling challenge.

Normally, the laws of physics, aerodynamics or biology will always hinder the human body from reaching speeds up to hundreds of kilometers per hour without support. So in the first 1.6km, Mueller-Korenek was given a tow truck in front with wires.

And this is the scene when Mueller-Korenek is behind the racing car.

In addition, the car is equipped with a windshield in the back to block the wind, helping the Mueller-Korenek performance as smoothly as possible. Another advantage is that the flat road surface of the Bonneville Salt Flats salt plateau, so that the car does not encounter bumps, bounces or the most dangerous is an accident.

The racing car is equipped with a rear windscreen.

This is the actual scene of the show.

The road is wide and very flat.

When the rickshaw brought Mueller-Korenek's bike to the speed limit, the zipper was cut off and she had to pedal on her own. What is quite unexpected is the speed of the car is always stable, making the pedaling of the Mueller-Korenek very simple then.

If you don't pay close attention, you'll still think the bike is moving at a normal speed. But in fact, the car is rushing at a very fast speed, even on par with the trailer in front.

However, after a period of persistent pursuit of the vehicle ahead, Mueller-Korenek was still pulled back due to being unable to maintain the original speed.
