A 23-year-old Dutch cyclist has pedalled his way to a world
record, hitting more than 133.78kph as he sped through a US desert, to become
the planet's fastest cyclist.
Sebastiaan Bowier
reached a rip-roaring 133.78 kph in
the high-tech recumbent bike developed by students from Delft University of
Technology and VU University Amsterdam.
This set a new world
record, making him the world's fastest cyclist travelling 0.6 kph faster than
the previous record holder, Canadian Sam Wittingham.
In addition to
Sebastiaan's record-breaking speed, another cyclist in the Delft/Amsterdam
team, Wil Baselmans secured third place in the world record ranking with a
speed of 127.43 kph, just behind Bowier and Wittingham.
