they have that record. This one is called the Paced Bicycle Speed Record.
Without drafting, solo records are made in a velodrome. Bike fans who know the story of Murphy's mile - when he made 60 mph back in the day, the reason he didn't go even faster than that - was because the train he drafted behind couldn't go faster than 60.
This is from the poscast in the 2nd link. In the video, when the tether rope is released it is at the 100 mph mark.
I'd like to see that bike and how the 2 chain rings work.
