One hour world record – 56,597km
French cyclist Aurélien Bonneteau is already pretty known among recumbent riders. During last weekend in May he broke the world hour record with unfaired recumbent and he covered a distance or 56,597km. This is better than 16 years old record of Chris Boardman on an upright bike Lotus who covered a distance of 56,375km.
The Aurélien’s bike is a specialy built bike with help of M5 which has a super reclined or in fact fully recumbent poistion, one speed only, an disc wheels from MAVIC. As you can see it is a full carbon bike with special aerodynamic pedal coveres.
You can find more info about Aurélien on his blog.

In couple of next posts you will have a chance to see some products of hungarian recumbent homebuilders. These pictures were taken from hungarian blog ambringa.blogspot.com. It is one of those blogs which really lives and even you do not speak hungarian you can find there many nice pictures and some great ideas.
The first interesting bike is acarbon recumbent with pretty special design. Unfortunately I do not have more infor about this bike. The only think I know is that the name is Nimbus.
