"In 1985, the fastest bicyclist was clocked at 154 mph."

hehe.

I think bicyclists have traveled MUCH faster than that. Seems like most of the tour de france riders have to take a plane.

if i remember right he did take a pretty big spill -- couldnt find anything via google (dunno how thats possible...)
