Cycling 950km In 24 Hours? | World Record Attempt

Superhuman!

so your telling me he crashed and you dont fucking show it on video????

It's amazing to see how slow this type of bike is in comparison with an aerodynamic bike or velomobile. The current record is well over 1200km in 24h with less power.

Bmx??? Lol

Why didn’t they air condition the room for him? Heat leads to sweating leads to salt crystals leads to saddle discomfort. And heat is just exhausting.

Do they use other data besides laps to track his distance traveled? Some laps he is higher up on the track so he’s technically traveling a further distance on those laps

Imagine his stool after he gets back home. Probably came out like apple sauce 😂

I've been hitting the Goggins schedule. It includes 6 hours of biking per day. I'm a couple weeks in, and I'm averaging about 20mph across those hours. Time to ultracycle?

yall really dont have anything better to do in the uk do u

RESPECT

crazy i rock a 48chainring 14t cog.....91 gear inches, if i had a 13 tooth cog ide be at 98.5 lmfao . i could do this i think, ive ridden 10 hours with lots of elevation, ,long beach to san diego. more people should try this!!!!!

I've completed PBB1200 once, in 2011 and failed to complete it in 2015. Many hundreds of entrants fail to complete PBP and I would say, from experience, that it's almost never a fitness problem.
It's almost always as a result of extreme discomfort, sitting on a bike for the best part of 80-90 hours.
Parts of your body that never, ever, hurt on "normal" rides can become a ride-ending issue after a while.
With me it's always neck & shoulder pain.
Watching RAAM riders taped to lengths of drainpipe, to support their neck, brings the whole thing back to me.
Then there is the mental torture of having no distractions, just looking at a road surface for hour after hour. That's what PBP night-riding is like. A small patch of illuminated tarmac for hours. It's actually like you aren't moving at all after a while. It's very easy to crash if you lose concentration.

Then of course there's the challenge of putting out 215 Watts constantly, without any break, on a fixed wheel. That's so tough on the knees. I'm amazed he could walk for a few days after.

Sometimes it's good to see a failure. It lets you know how hard this sort of thing is. I was doing so well in 2015. I was on my way back, 700km done, and enjoying the ride. Much easier than 2011. Then , in the space of about 6 hours I'd quit. My neck and back totally fked up. It's tough.

Doing anything at all for 24 hours straight is an achievement, not only that but an atheletic achievement. This is insane

What a fantastic effort. Perhaps he should have tried out keto and burned through his fat stores, rather than being a simple sugar burner on those jammy gels? Idea for next rider or second attempt maybe? :D

GGGGGGGGG mine is only 40km

Dayem that’s almost a megameter

bet i can set the world 72 hour record (since i doubt it's been done before), just as long as they don't drug test

I may be imagining it but I believe I’ve noticed a difference in rolling resistance between hot and cold tarmac so maybe if there was a way to heat the track it might make it possible to go faster

Christoph Strasser did it allready, he has that record since 2021, 1026km in 24h

Why this suffering fukk the world record
A person could easily injure his heart during this

Oufhl

It's 2022 has there been any update on this? Did he try again or did someone else do it, please link me I like to know thank you. Safe riding everyone ✌️

Coming of at 40k hurts. A lot. Did it myself on tarmac a few years ago and haven't tried a road race since.

(Can’t try at home)

not me struggling to sit comfortably for 3 hours in class

I cannot even keep riding at that speed for 24 minutes.

Crazy to think the record is now over 1,000 km

Convinced coffee is the reason for Europeans teeth color

I don't think he helped him in any way asking him how was the crash 😵‍💫😓😤😤😤

saddle is point down such a great amount! Is there a purpose with it? or is it just for personal reference? No matter what! Making a rider to ride 24 hours straight is too harsh based on my perspectives. Why don't we make a rule for under 12 hours instead!

It's all a bit depressing really isn't it.
Fair play to the lad for doing it but for me all the tech takes the sporting endeavour out of it.

Talk about stamina..... Jesus

Brutal

Good luck James. Hope you come back stronger soon.

10 years ago, when I was in my so called "Prime," I did 330 kms in one day. It took me an obscene amount of hours. Less than 24, more than 12.

There's this guy from Russia who rode 720km in a 24hrs on a fixed gear. You should interview him. MaskaKult.

I used to run in a 280m course for about 14-16km. Absolutely tedious. To run 24h in a velodrome like this is an incredible hard mental challenge.

Average netherlands citizen

24 hours non-stop is insane wtf

Cycling fast is already tough shit and he did it 24 hours straight for 950 km 💀

He thought about it, then he tried it and really worked on it...He's already a Record Breaker for me

I don't have a bike so I can't try it

40 km/h for 24 hours. OMG insane, i can't even hold 35 on my bike.

24 hrs at 40kph. Insane.

This man is a fighter 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽we proud

Ur watching Cause on YOWAMUSHI PEDAL
