      CENTIPEDE
      This worm they call the Centipede, was crawling on a car.
      The distance that it traveled for a worm was not too far,
      But how the wind was blowing it scarce could navigate
      And from the back and to the front it's course was laid out straight.
      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
      The car was going down the road at fifty miles or more
      Little did the creature know how swiftly he did fly
      It was for him to crawl along and not to wonder why.
      The man that held the steering wheel and made the car to go,
      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,
      The earth in orbit 'round the sun, a year from here to there.
      So crawl on little centipede and relate to what you see,
      Leave Einstein then to theorize on relativity.

      She did not do it on her own effort. She is towed to some speed under 184mph (maybe anywhere between 110mph to 170mph), and with the help of the wind shield of the car to reduce air resistance, cycles to 184mph.
      Also, as long as it doesn't contain a motor, it is a bicycle. After all, the definition of a "bicycle" is "a vehicle consisting of two wheels held in a frame one behind the other, propelled by pedals and steered with handlebars attached to the front wheel."

    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.

      As always, there are the people who do things, and the people who don’t. From your comment, it seems like you very likely fall in the latter category.
      There is absolutely no shame in being an observer rather than a doer, however, I do think you should be ashamed of yourself for sh*tting on other people’s accomplishments. Imagine if the next time you achieve a big personal goal, someone told you that it wasn’t very impressive and a child could have done it.
      I don’t know why I’m lecturing an internet troll, since it probably won’t make a difference, but the negativity in your comments was incredibly upsetting to me. Why can’t you just be happy for her?
      Perhaps you think it’s unfair that she’s being interviewed while you’re not? Well, if so, let me just say that it’s very clear to me why the video is on her and not you. You and I both know very well that a child could not have done this. In an effort to make a point, you’ve exaggerated to the point of nonsense. If it’s so easy, why don’t you go out tomorrow and prove me wrong?

      they're not actually attached during the speed measurement, the gearing is so extreme they need to be towed up to a certain speed that they can then maintain/build on _very_ gradually. (like a glider being towed up and released behind a plane) (but I do agree if you mean they couldn't just go out and do this without having a car provide a vacuum pocket to sit in and 'pull' along to some extent)

    • @twirdman2
      @twirdman2 2 года назад +1

      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.

    The benefit of draft is just amazing. When I see a peloton of roadies I'm always wondering how dangerous it was to be sandwiched between cyclist. After watching this video I can truly understand the reason behind it. Doesn't change the fact that it's also extremely risky.

      @marianneoelund2940 2 года назад

      I've ridden in pacelines moving up to 27-28 mph. It's an amazing feeling. You try to keep about one wheel diameter of space between your bicycle and the one ahead of you, but it takes very steady riders to make it work, and good communication is critical when the peloton needs to slow down. If your front wheel overlaps and touches the back wheel of the cyclist ahead of you, it will cause you to crash because you lose the ability to steer.

      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.
