83mph+. September 20th at Battle Mountain Nevada (on I80 between Winnemucca and Elko) is the gathering every year of the fastest fully faired bicycles anywhere. Flat ground, at altitude for thin air, no tows and no drafting. All out. No fixie hipsters here....Have a video of Dutch people celebrating.

His name is Sebastiaan, of course he's fast.

I'm naming my kid Sebastian/Sebastien/Sebastiaan and giving him a go kart for Christmas

Was it you I was talking with about Graeme Obree's attempt a few months ago? Someone on here, but I have a terrible memory for names.

Anyway, one look at that video tells you there's at least another 5 mph in that bike if they get the right rider, probably several mph more. I was a much better shape for this record than that, a few years ago, and I very much doubt there aren't lots of people better physically suited to it than me.

Has he been tested for PEDs yet? Blood transfusions? Red Bull? I'm calling shenanigans.
