Two pipes and three wheels, then you can put two persons in there. Each person takes turn using both legs to push the pedal on his side.

How about using gravity. Twenty one people form a bus. One person take the steering wheel. Behind him are ten persons each side take turn stepping on the pedal on their side and shift all their weight on it. There will be over thousand pounds each time pushing the pedal and nobody would be over stressed.

[beancube2010]

Two pipes of these will be come 3 or 4 wheels.

[jeep2003]

The recumbent style bike is all wrong for these things. you need to build a streamliner upright like a regular style bicycle to put more power down.

[jakubkrcma]

@imattila Has to be REALLY big to fit all the people needed for pedalling... :-)))))

[aymanqw1]

Do they have McDonalds out there.. I am just really hungry

[me2me23]

LOL that wasn't even fast and it sucks to be tall lol I could see that guy was in pain in that narrow compartment LMAO

[rbiss2]

.... i race hpv's with my school our bike has hit 80km/h so only slightly slower then this one but i think it is funny how a group of students who have not graduated from high school almost beating you. our bike next year has a predicted top speed of 130km/h witch is 80.77 miles per hour :) great video though.

[wetwater90]

does someone got an idea how much one of these cost?

[slickfast]

Just wanted to drop a line: thanks for posting such a complete video introducing the topic! I'm from Daniel Webster College, and we'll be competing in the ASME East competition this May. If we get enough interest/funding, we may be out in Nevada next September! Thanks again!

Nice street cruiser-- looks too practical for every day use ??

[111111111111111117]

That is the most unsafe thing ive ever seen, i know i will never see one of those in my life where im from.......

[sphinxrising58]

Well, I can see what they are doing, it is still cheating, laying down in an inclosed streamlined space competing with records set against regular bikes.

[ExForceFire]

it looks HAWT...

[bestruintd]

what if you reach a red light?

[inagod]

top bikes hit 80 plus mph

[suharinos]

allmost everyone can build a vehicle with technical skills, thats no rocket science. Finding a rider to pedal it is the most challenging.

[tomcatfranks]

Middle of a BEAUTIFUL nowhere! :) Nice landscape!!!

[ymanganelli]

WOW.. those are one awesome pedaled bullets:P

[riceski]

Sharp - good luck on ur quest.

[greentrigger]

Can you turn? XD

[tet5u01000]

" the middle of the middle of no where" what the fuck?

[cherrybomb1493]

wow that's pretty fast. would be quite an adrenaline rush. the fastest i've gone on my schwinn varsity on a flat road is 30.1 mph. and that felt fast for a bike. i can't imagine going 60 :)

[alstraka]

really 30 is all i have had my Trek mountain bike going 25 in the flat

[cherrybomb1493]

yep :)

[tomcatfranks]

Is it a first-year Varsity, the 8-speed with the rod controlled front derailuer?

[scorpienna]

WOW that's fast!

[BillyJackets]

why not put some retractable wheels with struts so you don't crash and people don't have to catch you, when you are ready to stop drop the struts out

[andreibranescu]

he already told you, there is no room for unnecessary parts. that would be a waste of space in the bicycle.

[manggold]

These vehicles are designed strictly for speed. That extra pound or two to carry wheels that would only be used to start and stop is weight that would drag down a best time. This competition is on a flat road, so it's not like going down hill where more weight will increase the speed.

[jumjukjum]

awesome

[shemjx]

What a beautiful Skyline.

[NMERider]

Great video and awesome effort by MUST! Who made the video?

[shipleyt]

I, Tom shipley, did the Fast Bike video for Missouri University of Science and Technology as part of my coverage of our student design teams. Check out some of my other videos on our formula car, solar car, as well as our trips to the Amazon and Andes with Engineers Without Borders.

[NMERider]

Tom, You do fine work. Please credit yourself and keep it up!

[alecdddd]

have you ever farted in one of those?

[linerider1996]

if they do fart it will be rilly stinky in their unless their a wuss and their farts smell like flowers

[TheRealJinx]

[Seanobb]
