[Some Unreg Punk]

1. You can be stopped by the police for biking over 65 miles per hour.

You can do that?

[Evlfrost]

That is a good question. Is it possible to go over 65mph on a bike?

[Dracofrost]

The record for biking speed is over 150 mph. And I do mean bicycle, not motorcycle. Then again, he was in the slipstream of a train, or something like that, and downhill, but still, that's the record.

[Evlfrost]

Wow thats really fast.

[Dracofrost]

I think it was like 151.2 mph. That might have been kph, but even that's still pretty d@mn fast.

[OmegaFrost]

You forgot the texas law that walking around without shoes on outside requires a five dollar fine.

[Some Unreg Punk]

uhm. If he was going 150 mph how did he stop?

Cause I'm seeing one big splat at the end of the hill. Wait slipstream of a train? oow. Bad imagery.

[Dracofrost]

Well, okay, it wasn't a train... and he was in some sort of Salt Flat. Anyways, here's the text from the entry at the Guinness World Records Website:

The highest speed ever achieved on a bicycle is 268.831 km/h (167.043 mph), by Fred Rompelberg (The Netherlands) at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA, on October 3, 1995. His record attempt was greatly assisted by the slipstream from his lead vehicle. Fred has been cycling professionally for nearly 30 years and during that time has held 11 world records.

WHO: Fred Rompelberg
WHEN: October 3, 1995
WHERE: Bonnieville Salt Flats, Utah, USA
WHAT: 268.831 km/h (167.043 mph)

[Nuxius]

LOL, that's like the law in Kentucky that requires you to take a bath at least once a year.
