SPEED RECORDS
Bicycle speed records vary greatly depending on the type of bicycle, the environment, and whether drafting (pacing) is used. The absolute world speed record for a bicycle in the slipstream of a motor vehicle has exceeded 290 km/h. Unpaced records for aerodynamic recumbents fall in the range of 130-140 km/h.
These records showcase the limits of human power and aerodynamic engineering. Track cycling records and Hour Records are among the most prestigious in the sport.
