I want a Mk III Zephyr almost as much as another Mk I Capri 1600 GT.

Cycling needs more people like him.

Awesome achievement.

Loved the bit riding round the ring road...

I wonder just how big your front ring could get then on a normal frame, he is almost at the limit.

Awesome achievement

That would be another level of mental to be pedalling at that cadence and effort approaching 100mph ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I like the quote "it is potentially fairly dangerous" ๐Ÿ˜€

Those are some scrawny legs. Where's Chris Hoy when you need him?

The ring is pretty large, I have a cameo in the film and have ridden the bike on the rollers. The ring comes pretty close to your calf.. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Loved it.

Do other nations do this kind of thing or is that kind of eccentric engineering a uniquely British trait?!

You could argue that other nations do it better, given that a Dutchman has done 167mph, and a Canadian has topped 80 mph without the car:

It's not all bad news for the UK, however. Dave Le Grys did manage 110mph
