This guy came out of nowhere and had really muscley legs. Took me by surprise and went past me! He got me! ,. I got him back and then got some other guy ... (I'd like to thank these guys cause they helped spur me on to yet another pb! ...

YouTube - CX700/PSP MAN V MACHINE

Only disappointment was a failure of the front CAR DVR camera. This would have been great in the utube double player ....

Nice video, shame you never got the front cam working.
Just shows that a majority of cyclists can get above that 15mph on a flat and with the reduced weight without the electric gubbins theres not much improvement over a standard bike.

Although when you come to a hill its a complete different ball game!

Good video keep it up.

Hi Kitchenman

Any idea what speed you hit when you left that poor chap for dead?

Regards,
Indalo
Probably 17 - 18 mph ... Its a slight incline and as its towards the end of my 15 mile ride home my 180 w motor normally keeps me at 15 - 16 mph but if the wind is helping or I try really hard I can go a bit faster. Also I think this guys legs had gone.
