Cycling records. This is a list of certified and recognized cycling records as recognised by the Union Cycliste Internationale, International Human Powered Vehicle Association and World Human Powered Vehicle Association, Guinness World Records, International Olympic Committee, the UK Road Records Association or other accepted authorities. Speed record on a bicycle[edit] The table below shows the records people have attained while riding two-wheeled bicycles.

History of unpaced records[edit] The International Human Powered Vehicle Association (IHPVA) acts as the sanctioning body for new records in human-powered land, water, and air vehicles. It registers non-motor paced records (also called unpaced), which means that the bicycle directly faces the wind without any motor paced vehicle in front. The woman record holder for this same category was Lisa Vetterlein, who reached 107.16 km/h (66.59 mph) in 2005.

The International Cycling Union [UCI] has announced that three-times Tour de France winner Alberto Contador will be investigated for doping during the 2010 Tour. In a statement released on Monday evening they said: "At the end of a long and meticulous inquiry entrusted to highly qualified, WADA-accredited experts [World Anti-Doping Agency], and considering all the information currently in its possession, the UCI has concluded that disciplinary proceedings should be opened against Alberto Contador. " When news broke in September of Contador's positive test for the banned anabolic agent clenbuterol the Spaniard reacted furiously, claiming the low levels found in his urine came from eating contaminated steak. But the UCI appear to be confident that enough evidence exists to indicate something other than some bad meat was responsible for the presence of clenbuterol.
