Yeah, but back in the 40s Alf Letourneau set the record at 108.something mph by PEDAL POWER alone! He rode behind a sprint car for wind deflection, and the front sprocket was the size of a trash can lid! Schwinn used the story in their 50s comic book catalogs, and of course later named the Le Tour after him! -adam
