What Happens When You Crash A Bicycle At 175mph

Neil Campbell is attempting to become the first human to cycle at 200mph, but a recent attempt ended in a terrifying crash at 175mph while drafting a dragster. We caught up with Neil to discuss exactly what went wrong, the physical toll of the accident, and the insane engineering required to pedal at those speeds. Despite the danger, Neil explains why he is determined to return in 2026 to conquer the record at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

This is Neil Campbell. He’s attempting to be the first human to cycle 200 mph. Not only does this require huge raw power, it’s also extremely dangerous and requires immense skill and precision to ride inches behind a dragster. Because this is what happens when you make a mistake at 175 mph. If you’re anything like me, that footage has left you with a lot of questions. Firstly, is Neil okay? What caused that crash? But also, why on earth was he even attempting to do this? It’s crazy. And how is it possible to pedal a bike that fast? How does this record work? Well, I caught up with Neil to find out the answers to all of those questions and more. But first, I’m going to explain a bit of context. The exact record that Neil is attempting is the cycling land speed record. The current record is 183 mph and is held by Denise Müller current. To achieve such high speeds, Neil is riding a specially modified bicycle down a runway where he attempts to draft behind a motorized vehicle. And this is as extreme as it gets. He needs to pedal in motorcycle leathers and boots just for safety because people have died trying to do this. After making the mistake, Neil managed to somehow grab onto the back of the fairing, but he was still attached to his bike at this point, which was trying to drag him off the car at 150 mph. The car driver doesn’t know that he’s in trouble and isn’t slowing down. In fact, he’s actually about to drive down the other side of the runway and accelerate again. It’s only when Neil is able to bang on the car that the driver comes to a stop. Man, I look in the mirror and somebody’s beating on my window. Look at the stops. You want to go to the ER? Neil, first of all, you know, how are you after that crash? And what on earth happened? Well, uh, I’m okay. Luckily, no permanent damage. Main injuries on the day were, um, compartment hematoma in my left quad, which has now just about subsided. We’re 2 months on to the day, more or less. Is that It’s a massive bruise. Yeah. Yeah. It’s kind of like an internal bleed in the muscle. Um there was load of other bruising and other sort of soft tissue damage and scuffery, but um nothing nothing too serious on the lower half. And was that when your your thigh just whacked into the the back of the the vehicle? Well, no. It was the um I got tangled up with the with the bike. So, the bike was between my legs thrashing around. Um so, it was it was like a big whisk in between my legs. Um, so it was just banging from side to sides and it was just causing like lots of bruising. I didn’t know that at the time. I thought my legs were all broken. So I’d had this Chevy in a headlock and I just thought my legs are broken. Um, and as soon as this bike sods off, I’ll let go of the car and then you know, whatever happens. I was hoping that the suit would uh protect me the rest of the way. Um, so that’s the legs. They’re all right now. Um, shoulders still a bit sore. Yeah. Um, still receiving treatments on that. And how many months is it? Two. Two months. Yeah. Pretty much two to the day. So, wow. Wow. Slowly. Slowly. So, I’m getting back in. Everything else sort of. Okay. And Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. Well, that’s that’s good to know. So, what on earth happened with the crash then? How did the crash happen? What? Well, what happened was the car slowed down. Uh, we’ve gone through the second timing gate. Uh we’re on a short runway anyway, so we’ve got to start thinking about breaking as soon as we’ve gone through the second timing gate. Car did exactly what it was supposed to do. I was just daydreaming. The story is that and it comes down to the preceding 2 three days really is that um we were a little bit behind in where we wanted to be and that actually was the first run that came together. So the timing gates were out. We’d had issues with the aerodynamics. So this was the first run that I was with the car through the timing gates until that point on that day. You know, I’d been out the back. So this was the first run it had actually come together. Does that that run count then? Yeah, that count that counted. Yeah, that was the only run of the whole weekend that counted. So that was the the one where you broke the the latest record. Yeah. And it wasn’t supposed to be our last run. That was only supposed to be a warm-up run. We had two or three more where we were going to plan to break at least the 185. Oh, that must have been absolutely gutting. Well, all things considered, so you think you think on on that day you you could have done it. You could have broken the world record. Yeah. Yeah. Do do you have a a family? How do they feel about this and like seeing Have they seen the footage? Not all of them. Right. No. So, what what’s their sort of feelings towards what you do and um and and the crash? Yeah. I’ve had a few stern words. the ones that have seen the footage have had a few stone words with me and and actually um not my family but one of my friends AD he he phoned me up and gave me a good 10 minutes of verbal abuse um of how I should know better and things really so yeah um the dangers are really down to the venue that you’re doing it on uh we um historically have only ever done it on runways so there there’s so many inherent dangers with that because you’ve got a finite distance to get up to speed, release, be unassisted, and then start thinking about breaking. So, in 2 mi, we will we will go from standing start at one end of the runway to stop at the other end uh in about 48 seconds. Uh whereas if you’re going to Bonavville, you do not have to accelerate as hard and you don’t have to consider breaking at the other end. So just people wouldn’t like who don’t know Bonavville is salt flats where land speed records done. In 1936 on the Bonavville Utah salt flats he started his first important assault on the land record. This was just a flipp compared with the models yet to come. But still Cobb managed to hit a top average speed of 160 mph over the 1m straightaway course. I remember you said before when you’d done um previous records that you’ve done like Elvington that’s a a large runway where Top Gear used to do a lot of filming at Elington back in the day but it’s like a concrete segment runway isn’t it? So there’s like those gaps. So I mean what what’s it like when if you’re riding over something like that and there’s like the like sort of It was the same it was the same um kind of construction as well. So we had that with Elvington though the the benefit it had it had um an ashevalt section in the middle um which was I say relatively smooth and then there was the concrete sections at the other end. So although Elington was rough as hell we knew where we were on the runway. So what we did is we put the the timing gates at the end of the smooth stuff as so so as as soon as you leave the smooth stuff and go on to the rough stuff you know you’ve got to start breaking. Um on this runway in Arkansas we didn’t have that. So there was no reference point of where to start braking. But yeah, it’s every time you hit one of those and you’re putting in drive, you can see the back end’s moving around anyway, but you you know, you you for a split second, the the wheel skips off the ground, so that moves around and you can feel it at like over 100 miles an hour. I just Another key component to the record is the car. There aren’t many cars that can go 200 m an hour with a giant fairing on the back of them because it creates so much drag. The car is a NASCAR um which has been converted to various different uses. Rick Lind’s the race car owner driver. Um he’s a really interesting guy. He looks a bit like a uh Peter Griffin from Mensa. He’s he looks like that but he’s ex nuclear weapons engineer. He’s now retired. He’s just a really interesting guy. Um, so he’s built this truck which is based on a NASCAR, but it’s bodied as a Chevy C10. Uh, and he uses it for everything. It’s one of those multi-purpose tools that he uses for the Pikes Peak hill climb. He uses it for drag racing. He uses it for land speed, everything. How I mean, you I’ve been following you for um about seven years now. Yeah. But you’ve been doing it longer than that. Um, and we made a video about Silver Eagle, your previous bike, but how did you get on this path? Like, how did you get into this? It’s a good question. I ask myself that often. Um, I think with the name with Campbell from as a kid, I was always interested in speed cuz I saw this figure of going fast and that kind of Donald Campbell. Donald Malcolm Campbell. Yeah. The whole Bluebird story. And um, so that’s always been in my sort of conscience. But no relation. no relation that I know of, but then I’m related to you. So, you know, let’s use it for the sake of uh you know, a good story. Um, so I’ve always been interested in speed and I’ve always every time I get a new car or a motorbike, the first thing I do more or less is go and you know push the boundaries somewhere. Um, I know when I first started cycling, I met a guy called Dave Lry who held the British record and that’s where I first became aware of this record and it kind of encompassed everything that I liked. It was like fast cars, riding a bicycle, riding a bicycle fast as well. And um and the more I learned about it, the more interest it kind of had. It was, you know, about engine power and aerodynamics and human performance. It just sort of just ticked all the boxes for me. And you were a cyclist as well. Yeah. Yeah. Considering the extreme danger of this, like what is it that just drives you to to do it? I think there’s a Well, there’s a couple of things really. I mean, there’s the actual challenge of doing it the 200 mph or whatever. I mean, that’s something that we just tagged onto it because it seems like an achievable boundary, but it’s it’s right up there. It’s right on the edge of Yeah. all of the variables. I think you said it in one of your videos recently and you said bikes are brilliant. They take you to so many places and you didn’t mean literally cuz they do, but they are a vehicle and you know the this this whole thing is just a vehicle. It’s a It’s a project that takes us to some weird places and meet some amazing people. Yeah. Um so it’s not just about doing the record. That’s kind of like a reason to do it. Um so it’s about what you do along the way. You know, if you don’t enjoy the process, then the destination’s not reason enough to go through all this. We we uh were talking to an aerodynamicist in America and and because we went over there to do some wind tunnel testing and he’s like, “This is bonkers. I’ve never done anything like this before because it goes against everything that he’s learned. Everything that he’s learned is about making the car go faster and actually we want to slow the car down or we want to at least control the air so it’s beneficial for me but not slowing down the car so much. Um so it’s all, you know, pushing the envelope for for lots of different people, you know, even the experts. But it’s not all about the car. I think that is a misconception with this record and people will look at it and go, “Oh yeah, but you know, you get towed behind the car and then released and yeah, it’s all about the car.” But what is the physiological component from you? Like how hard do you have to pedal? Like what kind of training do you have to do? If you were put on a normal bike like and did a max power, like what what what can you do? Yeah. Yeah. It comes down to where you do it first of all. Um if you’re doing it on a Bonavville, it’s it’s a longer effort. So it’s more endurance based. I say endurance is still a three or a four minute effort. what we’re doing. It’s less than a minute effort and you’ve got to be reactive. You got to whack in some serious numbers just to sort of react to stay with the car. I mean, if you look on that video, you can see when I am released, I drop back a little bit and then I have to really punch to get back on to close the gap cuz if you I was right on the edge of getting sucked out the back. So, I had to really lean on it then. you know, the training that I do is gym work is uh you know, a lot of anorobic stuff, a lot of talky stuff, uh and general fitness as well because probably I’m doing half as an effort a day at least. And it’s not just legs, like you’ve got to have a really strong core, a really good upper body, I’m imagining because of the forces involved in the bike at that speed, like Yeah. Yeah. And and you know, even when I crashed, um my osteio said if I hadn’t been going the German stuff like that, I would have dislocated my shoulder easy. So, you know, It’s not just about, you know, turning the pedals. So, in terms of like raw numbers, like what what what we talking like what sort of I think I’m probably about 1,800 watts at the moment. Like peak power 1,800 watt. I mean, that’s Yeah, but probably sustain it probably I don’t know, 1600. Yeah, it’s a it’s a lot. That’s Yeah, I mean, to be fair, I for this for this one, I was really really switched on in terms of getting my my diet and my training right. I just didn’t because I knew this was going to be on the edge. I didn’t want me to be the weakest link. Yeah. I thought if this is going to fail, it’s not going to be because that I couldn’t be training. It’s, you know, so I got myself into a real good shape and it was Yeah. Yeah. And also um compared to the other record is uh for the other record I I was just kind of still recovering from a crash. So I couldn’t get in the gym. And so now I’ve been able to get back in the gym and sort of so I can really sort of up my numbers a bit more. So lots of squats, deadlifts, that sort of thing. I’m Yeah, I’m guessing. Yeah. I think the other thing that strikes me watching the footage is you talking about those insane power numbers. It’s one thing doing those insane power numbers, but you’re doing that seated. Yeah. Cuz that, you know, track sprinters like Chris Hoy, they get out the saddle. You know what I mean? So, yeah, you’re seated behind the Yeah. But I’ve always been the same is if I’m doing a bunch sprint crit or whatever, I never get out the saddle. I always do a seat. And what like it’s more arrow. What? Um, so like the gearing on the bike is absolutely insane. Um, we are gonna have like a a deep dive tech video on the tech channel going into more detail on the bike, but I think you’ve got to show us the the chain ring that you’re planning to put on cuz you worked out the gearing. So, this is the chain ring to go 200 mph. And what’s this? It’s full carbon fiber dinner plate. It’s massive. But, I mean, what’s the 90? A 90. So, that’s going to be a 19 that drives the uh we’re going to go for a 14 sprocket, which is then going to cross over to a 63 chain ring, which is going to drop down to a 14 sprocket. Um, at 105 RPM, that’s going to be able to be about I think that’s 218 mph. So, 10 105 RPM. Yeah. 218 mph. And if the car can go faster, what we could do is we can drop them down to 13s. And I think probably I think the maximum gear for that bike in the current wheel diameter size is about 260 mph. That’s with 12 sprockets and 13 sprockets. If when you’re going on like the salt flats or a runway or anything like this and you you’re up to like, you know, you’re over 150 mph. Yeah. What happens if you just like hit hit like a rock or a bit of debris? You just have to ride it. You just have to sort of relax. I know it sounds really counterintuitive and it is, but even though we’re going that speed, you’ve got to relax cuz any kind of um rigidity in your upper body, it just transfers through the bike. I used to start off being really amped, like really aggressive and ah um and you kind of need to have that in you, but if you do that and you’re that stiff on the bars and on the bike, it transfers through the bike and it makes it hideous. It makes it really uh twitchy. Uh, so the more relaxed you are, the more you can sort of let the bike move around and just go with it because if you try and fight it, you just you’re going to lose. I mean, how crucial is the the bike handling component to this? Because, you know, people watching it, there might be say, you know, track sprinters like, you know, Chris Hoy or, you know, more modern like current ones watching it thinking, “Oh, yeah, I can have a go at that.” But I mean they’ve not got necessarily the the experience of riding the bike because you’ve been doing this a long time and you know motorcycleycling experience as well. Could Could they do it or how crucial is like the actual bike handling part cuz it seems to me like it’s it’s terrifying. It is. And I think it comes down to more than just being physically able to do it. Uh there’s plenty of guys out there that can kick out bigger numbers than me. Absolutely. Um, so I don’t doubt there’s other people that can physically do it. And then there’s other people that can a bit like Guy Martin that could sort of have the bike handling abilities and then it’s having that combination of bike handling abilities and then the physical power to do it and then it’s the will to do it because I can tell you on more than one occasion, you know, you’re going down that runway and every fiber of your being is saying, “Please stop. Please stop.” You know, this is just not this isn’t, you know, so you get so you you do get you get scared doing this. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely terrifying. I mean, you’re standing at the end of the runway waiting for your queue to go and Yeah. I’m just You just want the world to swallow you up and um yeah, so you don’t have to do it. How do you how do you do it mentally? like do you have like like coping strategies or like little things that you do to to sort of psych yourself up and get into the space? Yeah, I think it’s you just break it down into a process. Um, and it’s so intimidating when you’re there and there’s there’s so many people around you. There’s like, you know, the car guys and all his crew and then there’s all of the race organizers. Then there’s all your other sort of competitors and uh all of the people that you’ve taken over as well and the cost and um the logistics and the planning and it’s like well you know you’re here to do a job. You can’t back out. You can’t back out. What are you going to do? Go. I’m a bit scared. I’m not going to do it. It’s not going to work is it? So you’ve got to do it. That’s your chimp going with a gun to your head going. You’re doing it. So once you get over the fact that like well you’re not going to not do it. Then you think, right, okay, well, how am I going to do it? And then it’s just focusing on every single run, you know, the next run. That’s all. And then just remembering what you need to do for that next run. And the reason why I crashed was because I was focusing so much on noting up again cuz the previous run up uh because I’d released too early. There’s timing gates and so there’s one, two, three gates. Yeah. And I’d released on number two and then we were running out of time. So, we only had like a like two or three more runs left in the day on the last day and we’d already lost a whole bunch of time and we needed to get something on the board. So, it was like, “Right, I need to concentrate on what I’m doing.” So, it’s like release on the third gate and then count the gear changes cuz then Rick said, “Right, okay. I’m going to I’m going to feed in the NOS on the fourth gear change. After the fourth gear change, you’re going to wait a second for the car to settle down and stop throwing you about and then I’m going to hit the NOS.” And I’m like, “Well, what does a nose feel like?” Right. Okay. This is the last run. So, we’re barreling down the runway. I’m counting the gear changes. Every time there’s a gear change, it’s like that. Every time like that. Not to mention, he’s like doing naugh to 60 in about I don’t know 5 seconds. And then I’m counting the gates. And then I’m going right. Okay. 3 2 1. He’s going to hit the nozz. Right. Okay. Wait a second. Then I’ll drop the line. Then I’ve got to make sure I’m released completely before I hit the first timing gate and then go through the second timing gate. And that’s all I was thinking about. I wasn’t thinking about what happens after the second time again. I was just focused on just getting the job done. So, the plan is to go to Bonavville. Why do you think you can succeed there um over where you’ve attempted it before? Down to the distance. Down to the distance. Um we’re not having to accelerate so hard. We’re not having to break. The car’s got more time to reach its natural top speed. Um and it’s a lot safer. Um, it’s just got so much going for it. Um, that’s held us back. I mean, from day one when we started doing this in Elington 20 like 10 years ago, we always realized what the limitations were. It’s the car and it’s the venue. It’s it’s never been me per se. Um, so going to somewhere where that’s not the limiting factor will be, you know, that that really excites me that I mean and then it’s really a case of well, how fast can the car go? Um, and then, you know, I’ll I’ve never been dropped by the car yet, so I don’t intend to be now. But then we we hit new challenges, we hit new limitations. We noticed that um, you know, on the last run, just as we were getting up to speed um, with the aerodynamics of the car, it picked up the back wheel. Um, so it created a negative pressure and actually lifted the back of the truck. Oh my god. You know, and these are things that we’ve um, although we’ve modeled it in the wind tunnel, these are things that we were aware of, but we never actually thought would happen at those speeds. Well, it’s it’s a bit like going back to Donald Campbell. That’s what hap you know with Bluebird when it was on Lake Conniston. The boat got so fast it lifted up and it had that generated lift and flipped and it’s like blowing heck like Yeah. Well, I think we when we went to the wind and we modeled that and and they said, “Okay, they’ll once you get to 200 mph that might be an issue.” Um and I think what happened was is on that weekend we had like a 10 15 mph headwinds which is never great for records anyway, but that obviously increased the air flow over the car. So maybe that just, you know, brought that condition on a little bit sooner or so. Um, but we’re aware of that and we’re going back into the wind tunnel uh in America in the next sort of month or two. Um, so we’re going to, you know, address all those things. So, well, one of the things that I when you because you told me about that before that you had a headwind and I think it people will ask in the comments. Yeah. Well, why didn’t it’s a runway, why didn’t you go down the tailwind direction? Cuz that’s what I asked. Yeah. And and I think it’s a valid question, but you were like, well, no, there was like a rule that it had to be in that direction on there. Yeah. So, we it was part of an organized event. Uh the race organizers been absolutely, you know, blinding, really supportive, but they always run in that direction anyway. Uh, and also we’re running with a load of other competitors. And um, one of the reasons that we only got one running in was because we had special timing gates which had to be um, taken out, put in place, checked and then just for our run and then because there’s lots of other people using the runway as well is then they had to be taken out again. So yeah, we had to run that direction. Um, so we had a conversation about how much we think that would have made uh or impacted on our top speeds and they reckon that say if it’s 10 mph headwind it’ll affect the top speed of the car by 5 m an hour say. So you know already we’re in range of the world record on the runway. And as I say that was the our first proper legitimate run. So had we had a couple more I’m sure I’m absolutely no doubt we would have done it. I’m just going to give you that a sec. One of the things that I just want to show the viewers is um well your boots and your pedal from the crash. So these are your Dynazi boots which are motorcycle boots which have been modified. You’ve attached a carbon sole from a cycling shoe onto the bottom and you’ve got what remains of your Shimano zero flow cleat. Um but I mean look looking at these that is like someone has taken an angle grinder to it. That is I mean, that is terrifying to look at that. Um, and that’s just happened in seconds. Like, on the on the surface, it’s um I’m glad you’re okay cuz that is Oh, no. I mean, that just tell that tells a tells a story. Good luck, man. Like, great talking to you and um yeah, I hope I hope you uh have every success. Thanks very much. Neil is going to attempt the record again in the summer of 2026 and we’d love to document his journey and come along. But he’s been self-funded up until this point and he won’t be able to attempt the record again unless he has some support. So if you are in a position to help support him or know anyone that is then well you know share this video or get in contact. But that’s not all. Because for a human to cycle 200 m an hour, it’s not just an incredible feat of strength and fitness, but also one of engineering and logistics. It’s a surprisingly complex problem to solve. And the engineering of his bike is absolutely insane. And that’s why I’ve made a full deep dive video going into all the details of it over on the GCN Tech channel. So, if you’d like to find out more about what it takes for a bike to be able to be ridden at that kind of speed, well, you can click on screen. It’ll either be here or here. And uh and find out. I hope you’ve enjoyed this video and found it interesting. Love you. Bye.
