With 56 years, the Frenchman Éric Barone has established a new world -speed bicycle record on snow. The previous brand, which he had achieved, was 223.3 kilometers per hour. On this occasion he has surpassed her by throwing herself on a snowy hillside with her mountain bike and reaching 227.7 kilometers per hour.
Barone is a fan of extreme sports who has starred throughout his career various challenges. These include several speed records by bicycle. The last one has achieved this weekend, just before announcing his withdrawal after 22 years of challenges related to speed on a bicycle.
Throughout his career, he was thrown along the slopes of snowy mountains and volcanoes around the world, including Mount Fuji of Japan, the Mauna Kea de Hawaii, the Italian Etna and about twenty volcanoes in Nicaragüa.
The 227.7 kilometers per hour that has achieved are a new speed record on snow on a bicycle without assistance, that is, only with the impulse of their legs and the slope. The absolute record is held by Bruce Bursford, which reached 334.6 km/h with a static bicycle assisted by rollers.
