Consider a man on a bike in a competition against man on a horse. Who

all types of horses, terrain and bikes. E.g. Mountain bikes over rough
ground on dirt tracks or a buitumen road with the horse running on
grass alongside.

Steve Hogg said yesterday at the Sydney bike show that an endurance
runner (i.e. not even on a bike) can outrun a horse in terms of distance
covered. If this is true, the horse would have no hope against a bike,
provided the terrain was fit for cycling on.


Unless the horse's name is TRIGGER!! hehe
