"Last weekend, the limit of human propulsion was pushed another
kilometer. At the 2006 Dempsey-MacCready One Hour Record Attempts on the
Nissan track in Arizona, Fred Markham set a new World Hour Record by
cranking 85,4 km in a fully faired recumbent bicycle. This is about 1 km
more than Sam Whittinghams 2004 record. Noting Fred's age of fifty
years, it seems the boundaries of human propulsion are not even close
yet. Read a report of the decisive runs on Rob English' diary."
