The hour record is the record for the longest distance cycled in one hour on a bicycle from a stationary start. Cyclists attempt this record alone on the track without other competitors present. It is considered one of the most prestigious records in cycling.

Since it was first set, cyclists ranging from unknown amateurs to well-known professionals have held the record, adding to its prestige and allure.

In 1972, Eddy Merckx set a new hour record (which still stands) at 49.431 km (30.715 mi) in Mexico City at an altitude of 2,300 m (7,500 ft) where he proclaimed it to have been "the hardest ride I have ever done".
