When the bicycle became popular in the beginning of the 19th century
in southern Germany, England, and France, it was the first machine that
championed private transportation. Almost 200 years after the invention
of the vélocipède and Drais’ dandy horse, personal mobility is one of
the highest imperatives in a globalized world. Today, our streets are
filled with fixed-gears, roadsters, rickshas, BMX, and electric bikes.
The Human Power Team has demonstrated just how fast you can go with pure muscle power. The third model of the Dutch team’s high-tech recumbent bicycle, the VeloX 3, reached a speed of 133.78 km/h, setting a new world record for the fastest pedal-powered vehicle.
