The Circle City Bicycles blog contains info on bicycles, cycling events, pro racing, bicycle touring, and just about anything else cycling related. Since our bike shop is located in Indianapolis, we focus on biking in the Midwest, but cycling fans anywhere in the world should find this blog interesting. We try to post daily Monday through Friday, but we occasionally miss a day. Each Friday we try to have an interesting bicycle related photo.

Here's the official video of Eric Barone setting a world speed record for a mountain bike. He maxed out at 138.75 miles per hour. To put this in perspective, think about driving your car on the interstate at 70 mph. You're going pretty fast - now double that speed. Now think about doing away with the car and traveling that fast on a bicycle.
You'll notice when Eric gets on the bike, he doesn't seem to have a lot of flexibility. That suit must be stuffed with insulation. Can you imagine the wind chill at 138 mile per hour?
