If you're a Bicycle Mayor, you may as well walk it like you talk it, and that's exactly what Pete Dyson – Bicycle Mayor of Bath – did yesterday when he broke the record for the London to Edinburgh place to place ride.
He set a new provisional time of 16 hrs 56 min 51sec for the 388 mile (624km) Road Record Association record between the two capitals. Dyson became the first rider to break the 17-hour mark, beating the previous time, set by Michael Broadwith, by just over 45 minutes.
