That is wild...the back story:


This image captures French cyclist José Meiffret attempting to set a new world motor-paced cycling speed record in 1962.

Meiffret achieved a speed of 204.73 km/h (127.24 mph) behind a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL on a German autobahn.

He used a specially designed bicycle featuring an enormous chainring to achieve such high speeds.

Meiffret's record stood for many years and is a testament to his daring and the engineering of the time.

Motor-paced cycling involves a cyclist drafting behind a motorized vehicle to reduce wind resistance and achieve higher speeds.




1962.....explains the janky old bikecomponents which were probably pretty good for their time.
 
No math involved to figger out what the change should be. Just enter $20.50 as cash tendered and $1.00 will appear on the cash register's display.
But one has to be smart enough to correctly operate the register.
People often bust out the change after the bills are handed over and the buttons are pushed.

Not that it makes giving and extra 50¢ tough here!

And the fork is backassed so he can get loser to the vehicle.

Still a no for me!
 
John Howard did some wild shit like that too btw. He actually topped that crazy guy in the picture. 152.2 mph.

John Howard is an Olympic cyclist from the United States, who set a land speed record of 152.2 miles per hour while motor-pacing on a pedal bicycle on July 20, 1985 on Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats.

Sorry for the diversion folks.
