I'm Michal "The Joggler" Kapral of Port Hope, Ontario, Canada, and I run marathons and other events while "joggling," an actual sport that combines jogging (or running) and juggling. I hold the Guinness World Record of 2:50:12 for the fastest marathon while juggling three objects. (I also chewed gum every step of the way.)

Velomobiles are fast
Impressive speed on these Quest velomobiles. The winner of the 25K race, Ymte Sijbrandij, averaged just under 57 km/h. I've pushed the Mango up to 55 km/h on a flat, but that took some serious huffing and puffing.
It looks like they're going quite fast. And they are, passing the unfaired riders. Then, at 2:55 another Quest goes right on by the camera velo. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to attending my local time trial series with the Quest next year. ;)
Yeah, I noticed that. Crazy. The Quest seems quite a bit faster than the Mango, but I like the smaller size of the Mango for city riding.
