@@gremlin23_youtube And yet Felix Baumgartner still hit over 800mph becoming the only human to break the sound barrier un-powered in the process, during the redbull stratos project... Terminal velocity (And actual velocity reached in a given timespan) depends on weight and air pressure a lot, so you can't really determine an exact terminal velocity for every human
because it looks like she is going very slow because of how slow she is peddling...and you dont even even have a static object to check how fast she is (its all white slat bby) but she is going very FAST (like keemstar)
@@AllenHanPR No, that car can't do 700, maybe 200+, and the driver cant go slower than the bike, or the bike will crash, and if you go too fast, the bike will hit the air and crash, probably killing her. On top of that, the car does not go dead straight, you have to make very fine adjustments to stay straight, and to keep the bike behind you
They cruise(d) at .78 so you don’t get anything. 606 isn’t that fast, even for airliners when they’re going east. Some girl in a Gulfstream probably has your chicken atm
18:07 If anyone is wondering why she was pedaling seemingly comfortable before she let the wind slow her down, it's because right behind the dragster, at high speed, a low pressure zone forms for some distance, so when going inside of it the efficiency in her legs power is optimized and she doesn't have to deal with the overwhelming wall of air that would simply squash her out of the bike seat in an instant.
I think it's the fact that it's not the human which makes a diffrence, but the car and bike, which bother you. You can buy a lot of records by simply giving somebody money to build the fastetst X on the planet...

@Andrew Vaillancourt cheating then. she just add abit of energy to increase the speed and its easy because the bike has super high gear ratios and its already at high speed. why not just tethered to a buggati drive 300 and call it a day?
Imagine doing a death defying feat, achieving a world record with the parameters of how it is expected to be done, but be nitpicked by some random dude in the RUclips comment section.
@Justin Walters 180 isn't hard with a V8 and enough boost. in this case the engineering challenge was to make a 150lbs mass go 180+ with only half to three quarters a horsepower to propel it. i bet the raw cost to make the one bike was in the tens of grand, and the development cost was in the millions.
No. The driver don’t deserve anything. If a person can’t propel themselves without assistance to restrict the resistance that are allowed. Then that’s cheating
Try living in Canada where I live. Our prime minister corrects his citizens when they say 'Mankind', to instead say 'Peoplekind'. (face-palm) He has the most punchable face in prime Minister history.
She was the first woman to attempt the overall record. Men had attempted and set this record before, so saying "I'm the first person to attempt this" would just be a flat-out lie.
The earth is rotating at 1037mph and orbiting the sun at 67,000mph and going around the milky way at 500,000mph....so when I ride my bike am I the universe's fastest cyclist (through space)?
Dude, 184 mph, while kind of cheating, what would be the difference if u got on a bike in a garrage on those test wheels, u pushed it to like 400 MPH theoretically with no friction from the ground or the wind, i mean might as well jump out of a plane with a bike and say that u are ON A BIKE faster than 184 MPH.
You were riding West while I was riding East Alex so I was riding faster :P . I'm also closer to the Equator so I had some extra kmh from that as well. I don't know about you Alex but I saw so many aero issues with that attempt that I reckon I could give the record a serious nudge even with my staying power.
@@tajwarjamil6186 The dragster gets her up to speed so she can start peddling on her own power, the gear reduction would make starting this bike almost impossible. It also provides a windshield as the wind resistance at those speeds would be nearly impossible to overcome.

@@robinrumpfkeil9546 eehh, looking at it now it probably is, I was just annoyed with the idiotic comments on this video. I replied to this one because I didn't feel like writing an essay about why op is stupid
People who comment that she got dragged to reach 184mph, did you watch the video? She get's detached at 16:45, at like 140mph. Then she has to pedal the bike to 184mph on her own. She has to be dragged first to reach a high speed because the gear ratio on the bike is so high, it wouldn't be possible to pedal the bike. Yes, the car in front splits some of the air for her, she still has to use her own strength and techniques to accelerate and stay balanced. Plus, she has to keep up with the car, so that she doesn't fall out of the slipstream or she would just immediately get tossed into the air. Also, to those who say she sounded like super conceited, she didn't come up with this record herself, she was actually persuaded into doing this by the man who set the record.
To be specific, she is being propelled forward by the vortex from the dragster's windscreen. A difficult and dangerous stunt indeed but not the "world's fastest cyclist", the fastest bicycle riders are on the International Space Station.
aka SHE:S DRAFTING THE VEHICLE.... you know... because the air at that speed would slow back down to normal resistance.. like 30 mph.... lol ps no human can pedal passed that, the resistance becomes greater then they're pedaling strength (being even if you had infite gears) so.. the car basically creates a vacuum behind it at that speed, and thats the ONLY thing keeping her at speed. so she just followed a car up to 180 mph... woohoo... anyone can do that.
That's literally the same thing. She rode the bike that went the fastest. "She's not the fastest, she's just gone the fastest." Brilliant analysis. Though, you've managed to take the point of the record and completely miss it along the way. Still, brilliant.
@@doodoodeedoo3958 She accelerated under her own power after untethering. They had to tow her up to starting speed since the gearing on the bike wouldn't allow a standing start. These were the same conditions as the first record that was set, so it's a legit run.
Andrew Elias *sighs* If you understood the physics behind why she needed to be towed to 110 mph before releasing from the tow vehicle, you would understand that the only effort in her part is to hold on and not die. The vortex created by the slipstream literally pushes her into the back of the tow vehicle, hence the bumpstop attached to the front of the bike. The only skill involved was from the driver not increasing speed to fast keeping the car steady to avoid killing her. This is why you kids need to stay in school so you don’t get fooled by stuff like this, bye your welcome
What a brave person, male or female. I've ridden bikes for years and when I'm flying down a long hill hitting over forty mph I start getting a bit shaky. My mind starts considering the many "what-ifs". Can't imagine keeping a bike in control at 184 mph. Doesn't matter if you're behind a car to reduce drag or not, that's a brave (some would say stupid) thing to do. Congratulations to the ladies.
Men already tried this and she break their records. So until you find a man with courage to try to break her new record, you can not said that. What she attempt was really dangerous, imagine going at 180 mph with your body in your worst possible aerodynamic pose, and you go a bit to the side and suddenly you found 180 mph wind in front of you, you would fly far away and die.
they said it was a set of converted motorcycle wheels and tires Edit, never mind. I now realize my comment made no difference. I wasnt thinking about a free wheel type hub that she actually has. sorry.
Some good engineering for sure... And maintaining balance at that speed requires some skill.. Drafting on the air vortex behind cars is really risky and they can cause random turbulence. That is what happened to Fred, he was thrown up..
It is, cyclists are not motorheads, and motorheads are not cyclists, motorheads don't care about his record and cyclists don't really care about this record either, the absence of attempts on this record confirms this.
ever read a Guiness book lately? It's full of weird and random stuff. World's largest pickle collection, most naked people in one place, that sort of stuff. This is a motor-paced bicycle record. No one compares this to normal bicycle riding, it is its own thing, compared only to other motor-paced speed attempts. Why is that so difficult to understand?
Nah dude thats like saying NFL sucjs because its not Rugby. Drafting is just a different sport record. There is a record for fastest open cycling as well.
Essentially. It's a easy record. Right gearing, hold the turbulence. Better the bike better the chance. Next tech increase will be the draft vehicle. Though it will be limited in MAX speed due to needing to create turbulence
@@brutongaster8184 don't forget that world records can be broken by using a better physical technique. But people improve themselfs too. Like eating better things that helps you get more concentrate or makes you healthier .
you have plenty of categories, she just got the record of being the person who reach the max speed riding and pushing over a bike, they dont claim it is on normal conditions or nothing like that. She deserve the credit, what she attempt was really dangerous, imagine going at 180 mph with your body in your worst possible aerodynamic pose, and you go a bit to the side and suddenly you found 180 mph wind in front of you, you would fly far away and die. The ones who vote negative on the video, clearly does not understand that fact.
Erick Rodríguez it’s pretty much like pedaling in space there is almost nothing to counter while speeding up other than rolling friction and that is easy to counter. I’m pretty sure any decent cyclist could pull his off. I’m sure if that car would go up to 250 mph and she would let go, they would have called that a new record, which it shouldn’t be
Fredrick Hawthorne If you think it's no big deal try it yourself. If you have an accident at that speed you will either die or get seriously injured - possibly for life. What a stupid comment you're making.
Very impressive and gutsy! There is nothing easy about being pulled behind a car up to speed - and then cycling 4 miles accelerating from about 130 to 184 miles an hour. Well done!
I've driven 211 mph in a car and 187 mph on a motorcycle, but on a bicycle I think my top was about 8... miles per hour that is! Say what ya want, this Lady is a Champion!!!
For as much as people are dunking on this chick, like…look up the land speed record for non-motorized vehicles. I think it topped out at 86 mph for an egg-shaped monstrosity. If you look at it from the perspective of “What’s the highest speed I can ride a good bike without it instantly murdering me” there isn’t a way to conduct that without some sort of assist like this. Period. If you just started peddling on your own, you wouldn’t be able to answer that question. I’ve driven my bicycle pretty fast, and on its own, if I get fast enough, the bicycle chain just wants to completely die on me. I’d never want to conduct this exact same experiment. EDIT; actually watching this, this is even more pathetic on you guys; previous world records were doing the same draft trick, lol.
All I can see in the comments is hate on her coz she said she's a woman, which she is, and that she was essentially being towed by a rope all the way. She was literally behind a supercar. It is not easy stabilising and coordinating your bike with the car at initial speeds. Also, the number of attempts she had to make, it'd be exhausting, and almost life-threatening. Moreover, she was only towed till about 130mph, after which the rope was released and she had to cycle through a huge chunk of the record herself. That's how these records work man. Probably the previous recurd holder did it similarly. The only diff is he probably didn't have a yt video made on him.
props to her , she has some serious nerve , ive been around that speed in a car and its not the most comfortable experience , i cant imagine what that would feel like on a bike while pedaling .... insane lady
I think maintaining stability at those speeds for that long is really impressive. But to the credit of the folks in the comments section, if the video were just re-titled “How this cyclist _maintained_ 184 mph” I think the comments section would be a LOT nicer, because as it is now, the title is QUITE misleading.
Except that is not what she did. She accelerated. She was not released at 184 MPH. She didn't reach that speed until around mile marker 5, these are mile markers from when she was released not when they started driving. The goal was to release her around 110 MPH and given they had the GPS working on the actual record attempt that is likely the speed they released her at. Might have been slightly faster, was not likely any slower.
Before you sensitive feminists come crashing down onto me, I’m saying it for everyone that has done this. Why call it a pedal powered record when you have a 1000+hp car completely nullifying the aerodynamic aspect of it? The dragster deserves all credit.
This woman is awesome! Not because she was towed. Because she battled the insanity of not banging into the side, the salt and all the fear without quitting. I give her props.
All the hate in the comments is a little unwarranted, she never claimed to be the fastest cyclist. She is “the fastest human on a bicycle”, which is a factual statement. This achievement is one of engineering, coordination, and balance, not strength or endurance. I’ll agree that it is an unusual record to win, but I acknowledge the intense difficulty involved. You can say what you want about the WSJ obnoxiously highlighting her gender, but none of that takes away from its merit.

His fifty legs on either side he raised with utmost care,
And set his toes to grip and hold so as not to blow off there
And while he valiantly did try to go from aft to fore

Little did the creature know how swiftly he did fly
It was for him to crawl along and not to wonder why.

Thought he was just going for a ride and little did he know.
While the country side he knew beneath his wheels rolled by
Twenty times the speed he drove above him moved the sky.
And while he thought he traveled west the opposite was true,
For with the turning of the earth it was backwards that he flew.
And yet there was a greater speed with nothing to compare,

Stop with the lies
18:07 If anyone is wondering why she was pedaling seemingly comfortable before she let the wind slow her down, it's because right behind the dragster, at high speed, a low pressure zone forms for some distance, so when going inside of it the efficiency in her legs power is optimized and she doesn't have to deal with the overwhelming wall of air that would simply squash her out of the bike seat in an instant.
She's been sucked all along... dragster and air did most of the work. Credo to anyone just to hang on there.

People who comment that she got dragged to reach 184mph, did you watch the video? She get's detached at 16:45, at like 140mph. Then she has to pedal the bike to 184mph on her own. She has to be dragged first to reach a high speed because the gear ratio on the bike is so high, it wouldn't be possible to pedal the bike. Yes, the car in front splits some of the air for her, she still has to use her own strength and techniques to accelerate and stay balanced. Plus, she has to keep up with the car, so that she doesn't fall out of the slipstream or she would just immediately get tossed into the air.
Also, to those who say she sounded like super conceited, she didn't come up with this record herself, she was actually persuaded into doing this by the man who set the record.
To be specific, she is being propelled forward by the vortex from the dragster's windscreen. A difficult and dangerous stunt indeed but not the "world's fastest cyclist", the fastest bicycle riders are on the International Space Station.
aka SHE:S DRAFTING THE VEHICLE.... you know... because the air at that speed would slow back down to normal resistance.. like 30 mph.... lol ps no human can pedal passed that, the resistance becomes greater then they're pedaling strength (being even if you had infite gears) so.. the car basically creates a vacuum behind it at that speed, and thats the ONLY thing keeping her at speed. so she just followed a car up to 180 mph... woohoo... anyone can do that.
Why not just ad anoter gear? :)
She's not the fastest bike rider. She has just gone the fastest
R elyks that’s the point?
That's literally the same thing. She rode the bike that went the fastest. "She's not the fastest, she's just gone the fastest." Brilliant analysis. Though, you've managed to take the point of the record and completely miss it along the way. Still, brilliant.
She was towed to the fastest speed
@@doodoodeedoo3958 She accelerated under her own power after untethering. They had to tow her up to starting speed since the gearing on the bike wouldn't allow a standing start. These were the same conditions as the first record that was set, so it's a legit run.
Andrew Elias *sighs*
If you understood the physics behind why she needed to be towed to 110 mph before releasing from the tow vehicle, you would understand that the only effort in her part is to hold on and not die. The vortex created by the slipstream literally pushes her into the back of the tow vehicle, hence the bumpstop attached to the front of the bike.
The only skill involved was from the driver not increasing speed to fast keeping the car steady to avoid killing her.
This is why you kids need to stay in school so you don’t get fooled by stuff like this, bye your welcome

"You're officially the world's fastest bike rider" - Man holding a wowwy pop
For as much as people are dunking on this chick, like…look up the land speed record for non-motorized vehicles. I think it topped out at 86 mph for an egg-shaped monstrosity.
If you look at it from the perspective of “What’s the highest speed I can ride a good bike without it instantly murdering me” there isn’t a way to conduct that without some sort of assist like this. Period. If you just started peddling on your own, you wouldn’t be able to answer that question.
I’ve driven my bicycle pretty fast, and on its own, if I get fast enough, the bicycle chain just wants to completely die on me. I’d never want to conduct this exact same experiment.

"Nobody's done it, she's the only person in the world"
Ya, that's why it's called a world record
All I can see in the comments is hate on her coz she said she's a woman, which she is, and that she was essentially being towed by a rope all the way. She was literally behind a supercar. It is not easy stabilising and coordinating your bike with the car at initial speeds. Also, the number of attempts she had to make, it'd be exhausting, and almost life-threatening. Moreover, she was only towed till about 130mph, after which the rope was released and she had to cycle through a huge chunk of the record herself. That's how these records work man. Probably the previous recurd holder did it similarly. The only diff is he probably didn't have a yt video made on him.
props to her , she has some serious nerve , ive been around that speed in a car and its not the most comfortable experience , i cant imagine what that would feel like on a bike while pedaling .... insane lady
These records are stupid. I wanna see a cycler going from 0 to top speed and not getting pulled.
I didn't know that she was a woman, wow thanks wsj
Theres a stationary bike on the international space station, so the astronauts actually hold the record.
I think maintaining stability at those speeds for that long is really impressive. But to the credit of the folks in the comments section, if the video were just re-titled “How this cyclist _maintained_ 184 mph” I think the comments section would be a LOT nicer, because as it is now, the title is QUITE misleading.
Except that is not what she did. She accelerated. She was not released at 184 MPH. She didn't reach that speed until around mile marker 5, these are mile markers from when she was released not when they started driving. The goal was to release her around 110 MPH and given they had the GPS working on the actual record attempt that is likely the speed they released her at. Might have been slightly faster, was not likely any slower.
