Like most Cervelo riders along the Embankment, thousands of pounds of kit and not going anywhere quickly :D

    Frame aside, I think that is a pretty impressive thing to have done. The structure itself must be feather light at the size it is. The cyclist apparently had to hold 1000w for the first 10 s to get off the ground, them hold 600w for the remainder of the flight, *and* keep the whole thing within a defined space (to qualify for the prize - hence, I think, the heavy right leaning towards the end).
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Bike 1
    Bike 2-A

    I take my hat off to the designer and 'pilot'.

    That is one impressive feat.

    Nice idea but I'm wondering how well would fare in the wind. Probably as well as a plastic shopping bag.

    That's a full on effort then. The flight has to last 60s, averaging over 600w for 60s is effing hard.
