Cam Jeffers Sets Boris Bike Hour Record

Cameron Jeffers had a big plan to break this Hour Record, but here’s the kicker—it wasn’t on some fancy super-speedy bike, but on one of those Boris Bikes, you know, those average Santander rentals.

So, where did this record-breaking action go down? Not some Swiss velodrome, no siree! This guy spun his wheels around the Inner Circle of Regent’s Park. And by golly, he broke the previous record of 31.285 km and made it to 32.8 km.

But let me tell you, this wasn’t a smooth ride. It was, like, torture! Jeffers described the Boris Bike as this slow, sluggish beast that weighed about 23kg. And what made it worse? The gearing was all wonky! He’s all, “Spinning way too fast on flat roads, and boy, it was like an endless spin class without the recovery breaks.”

Here’s the hilarious part: he’s squished on this bike, awkwardly seated for maximum aerodynamics, arms hanging over the basket! Can you picture that? Some of the roadies he zoomed past were probably gawking!

But don’t go thinking it was all peachy. His hips? Sore for days after this strange bike ballet. But the guy’s not stopping there! He thinks someone else might beat his mark. He’s all like, “I’d love to see some track pro have a go at it. That Hour Record might just get thrown into the air!”

But get this, friends, the Hour Record wasn’t even his first plan! He aimed for a 24-hour record. Classic British weather rained on his parade. He’s all about keeping it tough, saying, “Let’s make it challenging for anyone else who comes after me.”

So, for all you Boris Bike-racing fans out there, keep your eyes peeled. This might just be the start of some two-wheeled craziness!
