Human Power Speed Record

For the 13th consecutive year, recumbent-cyclists from around the world have gathered in Battle Mountain (Nevada, USA) in order to break the human powered speed record. The 4,619ft (1,408m) altitude road (SR305) allows riders an acceleration zone of over 6 kilometers (4 miles), enabling them to reach their maximum velocity before being timed over a 200 meter distance.
