152.2 MPH JOHN HOWARD

oK SO it's kind of cheating to ride your bike behind a 500 horse power pace car specially created to put the cyclist in a draft free zone but hey it was the 70's.

 

So times have changed and John Howard is still suiting up and making the wheels spin. I sure want to be like this guy. I just don't want to keep purchasing new bike all the time. I know he did use 20" wheels or whatever to race with but in his old age "grew" to love the larger diameter rims.

 

 

Pretty good for the 70's . Check out this groovy video of John Howard  Olympic Cyclist and IRONMAN triathlon winner doing his thing below:
