Canadians are the fastest humans on the planet!
If you thought your bike was fast- Canadian Sam Whittingham just broke his 2002 world human powered speed record on a Varna recumbent bulletbike a few hours ago.
132.5 kph on the flats with no wind!
Incidentally, if you thought your boat was fast, Greg Kolodziejzyk (Another Canadian) broke the 24 hour human powered boat record last week, over 250 kms around a loop on a lake in Montana.
Greg also holds the land 24 hour record, 1142km.
