Here comes the other fastest things in this world, this time it's the fastest bicycle and cyclist in the world, speed can never be forgotten in any sport, the faster a player sprint the more famous he / she will be, as a runner especially, even as football player, fast runner will be used more than slower players. so remember we can never under estimate speed in any sport. It was this one person, Sam Whittingham who is a Canadian cyclist who has held several world records on recumbent bicycles.
It was Whittingham’s bike that is nothing like your bike.
Whittingham, who runs Naked Bicycle and Design, set the record on (in?) the Varna Diablo III, a sleek teardrop-shaped recumbent designed and built by bike designer Georgi Georgiev. It features carbon fiber wheels and a carbon frame wrapped with Kevlar bodywork.
As of 2009, he holds the following world records under the sanction of the International Human Powered Vehicle Association:
Sam Whittingham with Georgi Georgiev's Varna Diablo
The 200 m flying start (single rider, World Human Powered Speed Challenge, Battle Mountain, NV): 133.284 km/h (82.819 mph) on 2009-09-18.
First unpaced cyclist ever to break the deci-mach mark ( 1/10 the speed of sound, World Human Powered Speed Challenge, Battle Mountain, NV): 82.33 mph on 2008-09-18. To date, still the only person to have accomplished this milestone.
The 1000 m flying start (single rider): 128.40 km/h (79.79 mph) on 2001-10-06.
The 1 mile flying start (single rider): 126.55 km/h (78.64 mph) on 2001-10-06.
The hour record: 90.724 km/h (56.373 mi) on 2009-07-17.
In 1993 he also held the record for the 200 m flying start (multiple rider).

Sam Whittingham is founder, designer and builder for Naked Bicycles, a custom bicycle and accessory fabrication company based on Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada. The company was originally named Forte bicycles before a name change in April 2006.
Whittingham won the President's Award, the People's Choice Award and the Best of Show Award at the 2008 North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Portland, Oregon with an ornate fixed-gear bicycle that blended 1890s-style wooden rims and grips with modern hubs and a front disk brake. This bike then sold to seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong.
Sam Whittingham is the grandson of screenwriter Jack Whittingham, who wrote the first James Bond screenplay.
Today we found out that even using only human power, things could go so fast beyond what we could have ever imagined, that's the top fastest bicycle and cyclist in the world for you to know ^_^
Here it is the latest fastest thing for you to know, this time it is the fastest motorcycle / bike in the world, the dodge tomahawk. The Tomahawk was a Dodge non-street legal concept vehicle introduced at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. It had futuristic and unusual design, featuring the 500 horsepower (370 kW) 8.3-litre (510 cu in) V10 SRT10 engine from the Dodge Viper. The vehicle has two front wheels and two rear wheels, making it a kind of motorized quadricycle rather than a typical motorcycle. The pairs of wheels move independently, allowing it to countersteer and lean in turns like a motorcycle. Dodge claimed the top speed was estimated at 300 miles per hour (480 km/h), based only on horsepower and final drive ratio and ignoring drag.[1] Joe Teresi, of Easyriders magazine and owner of the world record setting streamliner ridden by Dave Campos, scoffed at this due to the importance of drag, and Dodge declined offers to put the top speed claim to a test.
Hand-built examples of the Tomahawk were offered for sale through the Neiman Marcus catalog at a price of US$ 555,000, and up to nine of them might have sold. Dodge emphasized that the bikes were "rolling sculptures" not intended to be ridden.
Dodge Tomahawk's Full Specifications:

The Viper-powered Dodge Tomahawk concept vehicle shatters all the barriers of conventional thinking about personal transportation. This four-wheel, single-passenger vehicle is a sleek, rolling sculpture that combines art-deco styling with extreme engineering.
The 500-horsepower Viper V-10 engine powering the dual rear wheels gives this radical vehicle a potential top speed of nearly 400 miles per hour - for anyone who wants to test it. The Tomahawk roared into public view at the North American International Auto Show.
"The Dodge brand philosophy always challenges us to grab life by the horns," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President - Design, Chrysler Group. "In the case of Tomahawk, grabbing and holding onto anything for dear life is a necessity. It’s just that extreme and passionate; a glimpse into the soul and commitment of true enthusiasts."
Initial reaction to the concept vehicle typically comes in two words: "Wow" and "why."
The "wow" is easy to understand from Dodge, the brand that continues to drive its foot to the floor - most recently with the all-new 2003 Viper, Heavy Duty and Light Duty Rams and an SRT lineup dedicated to engineering the most powerful production vehicles in their segments.
But "why" would a company, famous for its innovative car and truck designs, go down this particular path?
"Tomahawk is an icon of the extreme thinking for a brand that is known not only for the legendary Viper and Ram, but also for all new, innovative vehicles such as the Magnum SRT-8 and Durango concepts," said Creed.
That extreme thinking produced a machine in the true tradition of power-junkie passion, powered by a 505 cu. in., 8300 cc aluminum Viper V-10 engine gives you the fastest motorcycle / bike in the world ^_^
Fastest roller coaster in the world The Formula Rossa, ever heard of it? I bet most of the people around the world haven't heard of this monster. Remember the last time you rode a roller coaster? Do you ask for more? Why? Is it because it's fast? or is it because it's high? or because of the magical combination of both?
Let us find out more about this world record breaking stuff, and while were at it why don't we start from where this roller coaster is located. US? nope, it is located at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the place is called Ferrari World.
There aren't a heck of a lot of indoor theme parks, but Ferrari World, at a whopping 925,000 sq. ft. (over 20 acres), is the world's largest. With Abu Dhabi's average temperatures reaching above 105 degrees F (41 degrees C) in the summer, the climate-controlled park is a welcome refuge for visitors.
Ferrari World
Perhaps the most striking feature of the park is its enormous red-domed roof. Ferrari World says that the bright red structure is supposed to resemble a Ferrari GT body, but it might also be mistaken for a renegade mothership from a big-budget science fiction movie. (Then again, it's unlikely any "War of the Worlds" spacecraft that landed in the desert would sport a huge Ferrari logo, as does the park's dome.)
Ferrari World sky view
A hybrid Epcot-type pavilion/Six Flags-type amusement park/corporate hospitality center, Ferrari World showcases the legendary automaker through sophisticated dark rides and other cutting-edge theme park technology. It also reinforces Ferrari's racing legacy with coasters and other thrill rides. And it acts as an emissary of Italy by offering attractions and exhibits featuring the country's landmarks and culture along with Italian eateries.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi features Formula Rossa, the world's fastest roller coaster. It is designed to travel at speeds up to 240 km/h (149 mph).
By comparison, Kingda Ka, the world's second-fastest coaster, reaches a top speed of 128 mph. The German coaster, ring racer (sic), is supposed to hit 135 mph when it opens (after a false 2009 start) in 2011. For more info about record-holding rides: The World's 10 Fastest Roller Coasters.
Felipe Massa & Fernando Alonso
Formula Rossa was manufactured by Intamin AG of Switzerland. It uses a hydraulic launch system (similar to the launch system used for Kingda Ka), and accelerates from 0 to 100 km (62 miles) in 2 seconds.
The coaster climbs 52m (171 feet), and riders experience 1.7 Gs. Formula Rossa starts inside the indoor theme park, accelerates through the dome, travels outside the park, and returns to the loading station inside the building. The train's cars have been made to look like flashy red Formula One Ferraris. Because of the speed and desert sand, riders are issued goggles. - Speed of Magic- An immersive 4-D film presentation.
- V12- A dark ride that uses boats to travel through "12 cylinders of wonder."
- Made in Maranello- A motion simulator ride into Ferrari's factory.
- Viaggio in Italia- A Soarin'-type hang gliding simulator ride over Italy.
- Driving with Champions- Interactive 3-D show.
- The Pit Wall- An interactive experience that gives guests a chance to test their reflexes in racing simulations.
- The Racing Legends- A dark ride depicting the Ferrari story.
- Bell’Italia- Scale replicas of Italian landmarks.
This attraction is really amazing, although just watching the videos clearly not enough to entertain us, but still in some way it does feels like we are riding the fastest roller coaster in the world the formula rossa ^_^
The so called fastest car in the world, The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the only model currently in production of the car manufacturer Bugatti Automobiles SAS. Currently the production car the world's most powerful in its Super Sport, it is also one of the fastest. It is assembled in Alsace Dorlisheim. It was unveiled for the most part, at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris in 2000. Veyron is the first factory outlets in October 2005. It was not until 2010 to see a model "Grand Sport" and 2011 for the model "Super Sport".
The Veyron is made in small quantities in the workshop Bugatti Dorlisheim located in Alsace, the birthplace of the brand and the historical site of Bugatti. 300 copies will be built. It was designed completely in Germany by the VAG group, owner of the mark, and all parts are manufactured and assembled in Europe by a small team of highly qualified. Five and three weeks of work are needed to assemble a Bugatti Veyron. All repairs on the engine and the body are also in Molsheim. Each car carries a plaque with its chassis number.
How come it's the fastest car?
Field test of Volkswagen Ehra-Lessien, the Veyron 16.4 has exceeded 400 km / h, reaching an average speed of 408.45 km / h, performance verified by the Technical Inspection Service of Southern Germany the "TÜV Süddeutschland" 40. This speed has made the production car fastest in the world in October 2005, the Veyron 16.4 has reached 415 km / h on Lake Bonneville [ref. required], a record which was once overwhelmed by the SSC Ultimate Aero and Koenigsegg CCXR44 TT43.
The output of the Super Sport version of the Bugatti Veyron allows to "recover" this record, peaking certified by the Guinness Book at 431.072 km / h July 4, 2010.
It is definitely the fastest car in the world, at least for now ^_^
