VIDEO: Green gimp attempts to break speed cam record

Some time ago I managed to get the 30mph camera on Salthouse Road in Barrow in Furness to flash me

Love the film, cycling needs more of this!

I watched a vid of a rollerblader getting flashed by a camera and he found that the camera could only 'see' him when he was wearing a high-vis tabard. I'm not sure if this is to do with colour, contrast or surface area but it worked for him.

The whole morph suit craze is a weird one. On Halloween the doorbell went and our neighbour's kid was stood there in a full cover pink morph suit - his mate in a black suit. Both looked like gimps - which for 12 year old boys is a bit alarming. Reminded me of the very funny Wayne's World version of Madonna's Justify My Love.

Great film guys. Maybe you can check out the Club Rider cartoons on Spin Cycle Magazine and do a film series on cyclist weirdos?

Bet Brailsford has been in touch already

Rather than a custom paper mache bike perhaps he could get that little extra speed by say... using the drops.

Anyone know if they'll be releasing replicas of that helmet in time for the BCTT Nationals next year?

I've been doing it wrong.
With this latest research from sports psychology I will improve my performance.

You won't like me when I am angry.

Most villages in Nottinghamshire tell you how fast you are going as you pass a speed indicator board. Normally we fly by at 14mph.

The film definitely fits the desciption of "bad cycling".

Good to see some pisstaking, I sometimes feel the cycling world rather like rugby is going the way of soccer and becoming self serving and far to serious for it's own good. The wind tunnel and aero helmet was my favourite bit, reminded me of all the crap promo's manufactures produce for their latest bike launch. Really looking forward to part two.

Scowel: he's breaking no laws. Speed limits legally don't apply to bicycles!

Isn't it totally irresponsible to be advocating a cyclist breaking the law by speeding on this site? Ha ha ha, whatever...

Love it although I'm pretty sure that helmet is not UCI approved.

0.4 mph short.

Surely some green aero lycra shoe covers over his trainers would fix that?

I fear that helmet could get him into trouble should he bump into Sigourney Weaver on holiday in Cumbria with her neutron blaster.

I'm going straight to Argos to invest in a wind tunnel...

Anyone wanting to try and repeat this should look up Morphsuits http://www.morphsuits.co.uk/

That's what he is wearing, rather than a "gimp suit"

Is not it nigh on impossible to set off a camera with just one bike? I went through a 30 camera at ~ 45 on a downhill many times but everytime - nothing. Even if I sat up just for it in hope it would have more to register.

The question of "is he actually serious?" makes me laugh even more .

I'm sorry but 5 mins online can make you recognise some of the blatant mistakes so easily.

He'd smash it on a recumbent, mind you there's a 40 speedcam on the downhill A90 into Aberdeen...

genius, love that! Perhaps he could join sparticus and martin in an hour record attempt
