French cyclist Aurelien Fontenoy has achieved an extraordinary feat by cycling to the second floor of Paris’s Eiffel Tower in just 12 minutes 30 seconds. Fontenoy climbed 686 steps on an all-terrain bike without letting his feet touch the ground, breaking the previous record by nearly seven minutes. This incredible achievement showcases not only his skill and endurance but also his determination to push the limits of cycling.
Fontenoy described the Eiffel Tower as a symbolic monument he had always wanted to conquer, making the record even more meaningful. This climb is part of his ambitious “The Climb” project, which has also included scaling Paris’s Trinity Tower and Tallinn’s TV Tower. The project focuses on pushing boundaries, extreme cycling challenges, and setting new records across iconic structures.
The Eiffel Tower’s operator officially confirmed the record on October 3, cementing Fontenoy’s place in the history books. His achievement has inspired cyclists and thrill-seekers worldwide and highlights the intersection of extreme sports, urban challenges, and endurance feats. Fans can watch the record-breaking ascent, witness his skill, and learn about the training and precision required for such a daring stunt.
