World Human Powered Speed Challenge: Dutch cyclist breaks speed record in Nevada

Dutch cyclist Sebastiaan Bowier has set a new world speed record for a bike having travelled at 133.78 kilometres per hour in Nevada, United States. Bowier, 26, was riding a high-tech recumbent bike in the World Human Powered Speed Challenge at Battle Mountain.

"I pushed 200 watts halfway, "Bowier said."And then I started 350, 400 watts and 110 (kilometres) or so. At one and a half miles I thought I will go 20 kilometres faster. So from there I went flat out and went sprinting." Report by Sarah Kerr.
