On July 6, 2006, 'Fast Freddie' Markhan pedaled 53.43 miles in one hour to set a new worlds speed record for human powered travel. Fast Freddie was the first person to travel 50, 60 and 65 miles per hour using muscle power alone and Fast Freddie was almost 50 years old at the time. The picture shows his bike and the bike in the background is the same kind of bike without the cover on. As you can see it is a very aerodynamic bike and the reason Fast Freddie was so fast.
