The air moves at an average speed of 2000km / h.


"Mechanically pedaling I do not think there is a disc and cassete that can give 300km / h with one bike."



The cars are modified with the rear dome more or less big or large .

The wider the dome, the more air displaces at more speed or cubic meters, generating 2 effects behind it. It reduces aerodynamic resistance and a current of air enters from behind to the vehicle that in these cases pushes the bicycle.


This happens only within the size of the dome because the air that has been removed behind the vehicle returns to its place with drafts as fast as you have moved.



The important effort is carried out by the vehicles, not by the person who is behind, although it is very dangerous and that does not take away their merit from any of the cyclists, a fall or leaving the window of the dome is deadly .



congratulations record 184 mph :)

She needs the ropes because the speed of the dragster is so fast that the bike would not give her time to take advantage of the slipstream.


If the route was much longer in kilometers and somewhat slower until reaching the estimated speed, not need the ropes.



Did you understand? :)
