World's fastest HPV - 82.3MPH

"Sam Whittingham is the fastest cyclist on the planet, having pedaled his sleek recumbent bicycle to a stunning 82.3 mph to claim the world record for a human-powered vehicle."

Same bloke in an earlier competition:

Bruce Burford was reported to have pedalled a bicycle at 334.6 KPH. In 1962 the record was set by Jose Meiffret on an unfaired bike riding behind a car with a wind protector fixed to it at a speed of 204.76 KPH. Sam Whittingham is unlikely to be the fastest cyclist with a paltry 82.3 MPH.
