Today, Rich Flanagan, a Crofton, Maryland, father of five and grandfather of three, crushed the world record on a wheelie (one wheel on a bicycle), covering 51 miles! Can you believe that? 51 miles on one wheel! The previous record was 26 miles, and Rich obliterated that old and stale record this morning. We could not be more proud of his outstanding effort on so many fronts, including the months of preparation and the scheduling of the "right" day (the less wind the better due to the balance needed to accomplish this feat). He could ride on one wheel in the rain all day; but a bit of wind, and that could create a touchdown quicker than a speeding bullet.
Rich and his family have to wait a bit for the final blessing of the official Guinness World Record status, but in my eyes, he's got it...and really earned it for sure!
Please help me congratulate Rich Flanagan with his third Wheelie World Record! Bravo, my friend!
BSoleille! The bright side of Rich's third world record on ONE WHEEL!
