As in the Guy Martin version of this, the engineering is interesting and the reactions/balls to do it at all (which I certainly would not have) is fair enough but I'd be interested to know how much of a cycling feat it is. I guess all land speed records have a huge engineering element, a good quality of guts/reactions and a small quantity of driving skill.
Having ridden Guy Martin's bike, in a situation with as close to 0 rolling resistance as possible, it still requires a lot of leg work, even just maintaining that speed for ~3 seconds
