You mean the Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) they race at Battle Mountain? They are the fastest, non-drafting, non-downhill vehicles we have to pedal. They are governed by rules but those rules are more about how many runs they get, wind speed limits, different classes, no engines (duh) etc. rather than restrictions on what can be done to go faster.

Didn't realise they ratify land, air and sea as well as submersible HPV records. I'm building a submarine bike!
hippy
@JamesNQ
I've got a question for y'all.
If there were no rules and you wanted to go as fast as physically possible on a bicycle, would it look like one of those crazy bubble style bikes you see in the USA a lot? Are they governed by any rules or are they allowed to do exactly what they like to qualify?
