Real Fact #152: In 1985, the fastest bicyclist was clocked at 154 mph.

That is crazy insane, I want proof.

Fastest Bicycle Speed
The highest speed ever achieved on a bicycle is 268.831 km/h (167.043 mph), by Fred Rompelberg (The Netherlands) at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA, on October 3, 1995. His record attempt was greatly assisted by the slipstream from his lead vehicle. Fred has been cycling professionally for nearly 30 years and during that time has held 11 world records.

Niger Angelus · 04-11-2005, 02:16 AM

How in the world did he stop? And, jeez, that is just plain fast.

Giving the snapple cap the benefit of the doubt...if you read it weirdly, it sounds like they're saying that the fastest bicycle in 1985 was 154mph.

but why would i want to give it the benefit of the doubt? it doesn't deserve it. the drink tastes like shit and the company obviously has its facts wrong. that's enough reason for all snapple factories to be burned to the ground immediately.

I got this friggin' fact today too and it pissed me off. With the so-called hundreds of snapple facts, what are the chances of me getting one of the same ones that gaz posted. It's going to take me years to get my masters at this rate, and frankly, I just can't drink that much snapple.

Banana fans.

Orgazmo · 04-18-2005, 07:05 PM

I won a fucking frisbee with my cap today...so there was no fact.

I was pretty pissed, as you can imagine.

The shitter of it all? I have to send the cap it to redeem my frisbee. Fuck that, I pierced the cap with a screwdriver and threw it out the window*.

<font size="1">*In the trash.</font>

Ironic Mustache · 04-18-2005, 07:28 PM

What the fuck do you need a frisbee for (other than for frisbee seppuku) when the aerobie exists in the world??? Is aerobie seppuku would not only revolutionize seppuku, but would also put an end to frisbee tyranny once and for all.

Orgazmo · 04-18-2005, 09:52 PM

Seppuku with the Aerobie isn't possible due to it's lifesaveresque opening.

Fuck yeah.
It can also fly upside down if it wants to. Seriously.
The average wing speed is about 30 flaps per second, but at certain times they have been clocked at up to 200 times per second.
Now if that is not impressive to you, you should re-read what I just said.
