P8.23 The world distance record for riding a standard bicycle in 1 h is 54.526 km, set in 2015 in London (Figure P8.23). A fixed-gear bike was used, which means that the bike effectively had only one gear. Assuming that the rider pedaled at a constant speed, how fast did the rider pedal the front gear/sprocket in rpm to achieve this record? Rearwheel, 34 cm radius 8.23 Rear gear/sprocket, 14 teeth, 2.9 cm radius Front gear/sprocket, 58 teeth, 11.7 cm radius P8.23 The world distance record for riding a standard bicycle in 1 h is 54.526 km, set in 2015 in London (Figure P8.23).
