LONDON Cheap Replica Jerseys , Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- A team of students from the University of Liverpool fly to the United States, with one mission on their mind, to cycle their way to a new world record.
They are convinced their bicycle can top the current land speed record of 133.8 km per hour for a human powered vehicle.
Their magnificent pedal-machine, ARION1, is a speed bike that uses a recumbent cycling position and an aerodynamic shell. Apart from that it's just like any bicycle, with two wheels, pedals and a bicycle chain. The only difference is this cycle can be propelled to speeds that would draw a speeding ticket on a British motorway.
The University of Liverpool Velocipede (ULV) Team is being sponsored by Rathbones Cheap Authentic Jerseys , an investment company established in Liverpool in 1742, more than a century before the invention of the first cycle, the humble snail's pace penny-farthing.
Two male riders -- Ken Buckley and David Collins -- and one female rider -- Natasha Morrison -- were selected from 35 hopefuls with the power to deliver the speed required to bring the record to Britain, riding a machine designed and built from scratch at the university.
The ULV Team is the only British university team to attempt the record and the only team from Britain entering the International Human Powered Vehicle Association (IHPVA) World Human Powered Speed Challenge 2015, set for Sept. 14 -19 at Battle Mountain in Nevada, the United States.
The current world record for a male rider is 83.13 mph (or 133.78 kmh) and 75.69 mph for a female rider.
Team Leader, Ben Hogan said: "We're very confident. The vehicle is good and we're going to bring the record home to the UK for the first time."
Deputy Team Leader Cheap Wholesale Jerseys , Patrick Harper said: "It's quite hard to think about how far we've come. When we first started the project, the aim was always to build a bike and to break a record but did we think we'd be sat here two years later with a built bike, dedicated riders, major sponsors and tickets to the U.S.?"
University of Liverpool PhD student, David Collins, one of the riders making the record bid, has been in specialist training for the last eight months to prepare.
He said: "I'm very confident. We've all been working hard Cheap Jerseys From China , the team and the engineers. I'll be completely encased by the shell so the only way I can see when riding is through the camera mounted on the outside feeding images to two small screens inside. It's all about getting the job done as a rider now."
The team has been supported by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Philippa Oldham, IMechE Head of Transport said: "The team has embarked on an incredibly tough challenge. Testing will be rigorous and the team will need to ensure that everything is running smoothly. The ULV Team is the first UK university-based team to attempt to break this record and as engineers and Institution members, they'll need to have perfected every detail to achieve their goal.
"Engineering is about problem-solving and this project showcases innovation and creativity at its finest -- I wish the team every success."
Dr. Tim Short, Senior Lecturer in the University' School of Engineering said: "In under two years, the students have gone from knowing nothing about the design of high speed bikes to being ready to challenge the World Record. They have an unrivaled foundation from the engineering science teaching and facilities here in Liverpool, but ultimately it's down to them and their tremendous dedication."
Even though it is known to be a relaxing and fun activity, many fishermen use fishing as a recreational sport Cheap Jerseys China , often competing to catch the best fish. In these cases, different conventions, rules, laws and licensing restrictions are enforced on the fishermen. Due to this, in most cases, recreational fishing is done with a rod, reel Cheap Jerseys , line, hooks and a range of baits.
Any keen fishermen will no doubt be well aware of the different types of fishing one can enjoy. One of the great things about fishing is that it can be done almost anywhere-whether it is in an ocean, lake, river or just a small creek you can do your best to find a good catch! However, depending on the type of water will depend on what kind of fish you can hope to find, and in a lot of cases, what type of equipment you will need. Fresh water is usually the term for most lakes Wholesale Baseball Jerseys , rivers and streams within America. Here, you are most likely to find trout, bass, catfish and pike. Salt water is obviously found within the ocean, but many rivers and coastal waterways are also great places to find saltwater wish also. Depending on the depth of that water, fishermen can hope to find a variety of fish including swordfish, tuna and bluefish. Deep sea fishing is known to be the more exciting method of fishing Wholesale MLB Jerseys , mainly because it is entirely based within the ocean. When deep sea fishing, the main aim is to attempt to catch some of the largest fish which are known to habitat the ocean such as tuna, swordfish and even sharks. This differs from normal fishing however, as it requires a lot of strength and skill due to the heavy fishing poles which are needed.
