The first human powered land vehicle was constructed by Giovanni Fontana in 1418. The term "bicycle" first entered into popular usage in France in the 1860s.
The longest "tandem" bike ever built was almost 67 feet long and could seat 35. The smallest adult bicycle ever created had wheels made from silver dollars. There are roughly one billion bicycles in the world (about twice as many as motor vehicles). The slow cycling record was set by Tsugunobu Mitsuishi of Japan in 1965 when he stayed stationary for 5 hours, 25 minutes. The fastest speed ever recorded on a bicycle was attained by American Olympic Cyclist and Ironman triathlon competitor John Howard, when he reached 152.2 mph in 1985.
