New Guinness men's world cycling speed record set at 174.339mph

Neil Campbell's elongated £15,000 bicycle was dragged along behind a Porsche Cayenne (right) at Elvington Airfield, North Yorkshire, on Saturday. The Porsche was kitted out with a box coming out from the rear of the car. The box held the bicycle in place as it gained speed before releasing it ahead of the 200m speed trap. The box also offered Mr Campbell (top left) a slipstream - keeping the wind away from the bike and preventing it from losing speed quickly once separated from the car. Built with 3-D printed components and parts from a motocross bike Mr Campbell's bicycle went 7mph faster than the previous record - set by Dutch rider Fred Rompelberg in 1995.

Another one that doesn't count. Cheater's !

Isn’t the aero just pulling him along?

[dukedalington]

Supersonic is a long way from 220MPH. But 220 would be madness!

[JaybayJay]

That's nothing.. I held onto a Hennessey Venom F5 down the Autobahn on my bike, we were doing at least 300 mph.

[julianpenado]

Plot twist, he was actually pushing the car. Lol

[thatlittlevoice]

am i the only who thinks that this is all a bit contrived?

[hamzasheikh]

Moral of the story.... GET A BLOODY CAR!

[onlyonecannoli]

He's now ready for the Tour De Farce.

[MichaelOrthodoxChristian]

Your great grandson will do 290 mph on a skateboard in 2090.

[SteveNinetyski]

Absolutely awesome.
I see that a woman has done 184mph though on the salt flats?!

[karlhiggins]

It looked like the car still finished first.

[leewe]

Who else finding this "feat" pointless ? I mean, say thank you to the Porsche...

[larrylem]

At what speed was he released from the bungee cord?

[chrisjako]

isn't a woman the fastest human on a bycicle? 296, 01 kmh? denise mueller-korenek?

[carlossandersoncastillo]

BS. This is just ridiculous. Attach a bike to a Bugatti and you do 300 mph. Was he pedaling? GTFO.

[lemonjuice]

I would like to see a fixie rider attempting this.

[horaciomendez]

Next time i will try to jump of an airplane about 9000 mts, i can reach over 420 km/h

[jeffs]

Misleading till you get half way though the video.

[robertcarter]

Bicyclist towed by a Porsche is much more accurate

[WeROffOn]

Nope, shouldn't be counting this, dont see cars slip streaming world records
