The Quest to Push a Human-Powered Bike to 90 MPH

Clarification: For the British record he was drafting behind a truck.

On a similar but even more nuts note, Ricky Crompton (slopestyle rider) is planning to break the longest backflip world record in Belfast this year. He wants Guy Martin to tow him into the ramp at around 70mph. He will be doing this as part of his upcoming TV series "Selfmade".

I'm seriously in love with Guy Martin and watched that episode. I happen to live just a few minutes away from Rourke, who helped make the bike for Guy. Jason and his team are amazing people if you're looking for bike advice.

It seems to be a general backlash against the buzzfeed style listicles. Ironically even buzzfeed seems to be trying out more longform articles.

FWIW, it's about 3090 words. For a feature article from a magazine, that's reasonably typical - it just looks long on the Web.

I would much prefer it to be page based instead of scroll based. Feels more like reading a book and easier to follow.

I prefer the long style so I can cut-n-paste the text into Notepad++ all at once instead of 7 or 8 pages.

Then I can save it to read later, control the text size and width, and not go insane from blinking ads in my peripheral visiion.
