        @BBCNews surely anyone with superior leg strength could beat it?🤔 say for example Sir Chris Hoy. How many have tried to break it?

        it would involve more than this: coordination, muscle memory, development and balance of other areas

        You telling me Sir Chris Hoy didn't have the coordination and balance racing around a steeply banked velodrome at 60 mph having to dodge other cyclists etc? If you're hearing this Sir Chris then let's do this 😂

        OK, so you were treating my first sentence in isolation and weren't commenting on the fact that someone like Sir Chris Hoy (who I also mentioned in my message) could beat the record if he was indeed interested. No harm done 😀

        Fun fact: Since 1959 the 'mile' has been defined as 1,609.344 metres, because there is no real way to measure the mile :)

        Strange how I can visualise a mile much more easily than 1,609.344 metres.

        So she didn’t do it under her own power and drafted behind the dragster. Cheated.
