| sports. To confirm this, just at Lance | | | | accelerate the motorcycle to 185 plus mph |
| Armstrong in a tour to France. racing | | | | makes a huge difference. Whether you are |
| aerodynamics against the relative wind are | | | | shooting a man out of a cannon or jumping off |
| quite serious. In most bicycle races the | | | | the pier into the Annual Human Powered Flight |
| riders are doing in excess of 60 mph for a | | | | Contest into the Hudson Bay, this is no |
| large part of the race and the aerodynamics | | | | joking matter, aerodynamics of the human body |
