Denise Mueller-Korenek brings a whole new meaning to pedal to the metal. The US woman, 45, smashed a world record this week by averaging an eye-watering speed of 183.9 miles per hour on a bicycle. For most people, the idea of traveling along the ground at more than 180mph in anything other than a plane preparing for take-off is nausea-inducing. That speed, by the way, is twice as fast as a cheetah.
