I have changed to reflect the distance of the traditional route, reflected on the signpost at each end & put a citation needed point on LEJOGLE as it not apparent which, if any, authority has recognised the record. Find bruce ( talk) 01:28, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
At least if this is properly measured, which I can't deduce, since it's in dutch. :-) http://nos.nl/artikel/551299-nederlander-fietst-133-kmu.html -- 84.167.97.81 ( talk) 11:59, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
Greg Kolodziejzyk's record has subsequently been broken (three times) so I've updated it. Since it was recently on the telly, is it worth ferreting out multi-rider records or is that a bit too specialised? Mr Larrington ( talk) 14:55, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
There are now separate entries for all named cyclists except Marcel Planes & Bernard Bennett. Does anyone know a reliable source of information for these cyclists ? Find bruce ( talk) 11:20, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
I have restored the report from cycling weekly that "a surprising number of people were less than charitable about Searvogel's amazing feat" that was deleted by Aliciasartadventures. The report is verifiable from a reliable source. While I think the criticism of Searvogel's record is unfair, it appears to me that a neutral point of view requires a brief mention of the controversy.

A couple of nits: 1) this should be just "year", not "calendar year" as recent records were over years not starting Jan. 1. 2) The mens record should really just be overall record as overall record holders include men and women. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.129.241.14 ( talk) 23:05, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
I have deleted the paragraph about Sean Kelly's road speed as (1) the "record" it is not recognised or maintained by any authority; (2) the speed does not appear to have been verified by anyone & (3) there is no reliable source - the sole source is an unattributed quote from the ride himself more than 25 years after the event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Find bruce ( talk • contribs) 23:19, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

The hour record 1997-2014 on upright track 'Merckx' bicycles without disc wheels, time-trial helmets, monocoque frames etc. no longer exists. The UCI abolished it when they introduced the unified hour record. Why can't this be removed? The main article on the Hour Record is the place for historical records.-- Darrelljon ( talk) 12:08, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
Three points. (1) Deleting a chunk of text is not a minor edit; (2) the records for streamlined & non-streamlined recumbent vehicles are not affected by any position of the UCI & (3) The UCI still recognise the record of Chris Boardman see http://www.uci.ch/mm/Document/News/NewsGeneral/16/60/64/20151009_Historiquedesrecords_HommesElite_Neutral.pdf on page 2 under the heading "lugarno charter". The UCI no longer recognises Ondřej Sosenka as the record holder. In my view the text should be amended to reflect the changes to hour record & to point to why the farthest distance is not the current record. I would suggest something reflecting the main article Find bruce ( talk) 00:11, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

66.129.241.11 ( talk) has added an entry for Amanda Coker for 30 days. So far as I am aware there is no authority that recognises any such record, particularly when the date selection appears to simply be a random choice, not connected to a calendar month nor announced in advance. The authority cited is simply the distance recorded for Amanda during her attempt at the year record. I have nothing against Amanda, quite the opposite, she is riding some amazing distances. In my view however this falls into the category of yet another unverified claim and there is nothing notable about it. I have previously reverted the edit, however it has now been re-insterted. Rather than enter into an edit war I am posting here to ascertain support for either position or an alternative. Find bruce ( talk) 03:24, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

I have deleted the claim for an Individual four man team relay record for John O Groats To Lands End because as (1) the "record" is not recognised or maintained by any authority; (2) no reliable source is quoted & (3) in the absence of any reliable source, the editor would appear to have information that is not available to an independent person.

This makes it easier to sort through the records, and look for maybe the fastest, instead of it just being in chronological order. Rednaxela510 ( talk) 21:16, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
