Cyclist and social media sensation Aurelien Fontenoy became the fastest athlete ever to climb to the second floor of France’s Eiffel Tower on an all-terrain bike, the monument’s operator said on Friday (October 3). “Pulling a bike 686 times starts to get tough after a while. But I’m so happy to have done it,” he said
It’s really taxing on the shoulders, on the feet, too. I felt that on the second floor it was starting to get tough because you can never pedal. In fact, you have the brakes locked all the time. It only affects your calves, your shoulders, and pulling a bike 686 times starts to get tough after a while. But I’m so happy to have done it.
