144 km/h Record di velocità per un uomo e la sua bici

De Eta van Aerovelo is onderweg voor de eerste recordpoging. In Battle Mountain (Nevada) wordt ieder jaar de World Human Powered Speed Challenge gehouden. Tijdens deze wedstrijd wordt geprobeerd zo hard mogelijk te fietsen op pure menskracht. Ze halen snelheden tot 133 km/h. De deelnemers bestaan zowel uit teams van universiteiten als uit hobbyisten. Met de gestroomlijnde fietsen willen ze laten zien wat mogelijk is met menskracht. De speciale ligfietsen kunnen gezien worden als de Formule 1 van het fietsen. De kennis die wordt opgedaan wordt ook gebruikt om duurzaam vervoer verder te ontwikkelen. The Eta Speedbike of Aerovelo is on its way for the first record attempt. In Battle Mountain (Nevada) each year the World Human Powered Speed Challenge is held. During this race they try to ride on pure manpower as hard as possible. Speeds up to 133 km/h are reached. The participants consist of both teams from universities and from hobbyists. With the sleek bikes they want to show what is possible with human power. The special recumbent bicycles can be seen as the Formula 1 of the bicycle. The knowledge gained is also used to develop sustainable transport.

La bicicletta rimane un mezzo poco artificiale, molto umano, molto vicino all’essenza stessa dell’uomo e alla sua condizione, che per raggiungere obiettivi importanti deve faticare.

Anche con questo mezzo però si possono superare i limiti, e puntare a mete considerate irraggiungibili.

Ecco che un team di atleti e ingegneri spinge l’asticella di quello che è possibile sempre un pelo più in là

Aerovelo progetto ETA. Ancora un record di velocità
