Sam Whittingham at 132 Kmh

Sam Whittingham, who lives and works on Quadra Island, BC  has won the $25,000 Decimach prize, riding his Georgiev designed enclosed recumbent bike at over 82 mph or 132 Kph at Battle Mountain, Nevada.

Sam has become well known as the builder of Naked Bicycles, and winner of the grand prize at this year's Handmade Bicycle Show in Portland, Oregon.

 While many admired his craftsmanship, few were aware that he has for several years been the fastest cyclist on the planet.

 With his latest success that will likely change.
