Dunmow puts Wheels in Motion to Ride into the Record Books
on a bicycle made for 100
Great Dunmow Round Table have
set themselves the craziest of challenges. They intend to break
the Guinness World Record attempt for the most people on a pedal
powdered vehicle!
The Record to Break
In 2005, 82 riders in Sweden
set a World Record for the most people on a pedal powered
vehicle. The Great Dunmow Round Table are going to smash this
record apart on a purpose made 32m long, 4.5 tonne, 100 seat
Bike.
Great Dunmow Round Table
Chairman Shaun Pledger confirmed the bike will carry a massive
100 riders 1km down the runway at The Imperial War Museum
Duxford.
The event will take place at
2.00 p.m. on Saturday 22nd September 2007.
The gross weight of the bike
laden exceeds a whopping 12 tonnes.
Due to the complexities of
the bike it has taken a staggering 5 months for the Guinness
World Record team to work with Round Table and categorise the
vehicle.
We also intend to cycle the
bike 103 miles from Norwich to Great Dunmow on the weekend of 6th/7th
October 2007.
Due to size restriction on
public roads this beast of a machine will hold 40 riders,
and pass through the table towns of Norwich, Bury St Edmunds,
Newmarket, Haverhill and Saffron Walden.
Dunmow Round Table are looking for have a go
tablers from these respective towns to help us pedal all or part
of the challenge.
