José Meiffret’s 200km/h Bike Ride

quote [ This strange looking bike with an enormous chain wheel was designed for speed, and speed it did achieve. On July 19, 1962, French cyclist José Meiffret blazed down the Autobahn near Friedburg Germany on this very bike at an incredible speed of 204 km/h (127 mph), thus becoming the first cyclist to breach the 200 km/h barrier. ]

.. nicely matching the overall idea of going 200 km/h on a bike.
