The World Human Powered Speed Challenge is held every September in Battle Mountain, NV. You couldn't find anything more local than Aljazeera?

The video was from Battle Mt. Nevada. It was being reported on by Aljazeera.

Everybody knows the best way to make your bike faster is paint it red.
If it's already red that's as fast as it will go.
Simple physics...

I know all about Battle Mountain. I know people who have competed there. I just questioned why the link was from a middle-east-based news service instead of something more local to Nevada. This, for instance:

Say no to al jazeera.

You have another well Produced Video of the event , don't keep it to Yourself.
That immobile camera shot is ,, somewhat adequate , some people put in more Work at it.
does seem the Drag was further reduced when they left out the head bubble and went to a camera and a Monitor on a tablet.

I've been riding a red bike for 30 years. Its even metallic red. I thought it was fast then I got a blue one. Rode the red one again yesterday and think its at least as fast.
