This year’s Tasmanian Christmas Carnivals Series later this month will include several Guiness World Record attempts.
Former Canadian cycling champion Lizanne Wilmot will be aiming to break world records on a penny farthing bike at the Hobart, Devonport and Burnie Carnivals.
Wilmot already has a penny farthing world record under her belt, recently breaking the one hour record for a female in one hour, in the UK, riding 23.41km in the allotted time.
She’s also broken the land speed record for a recumbent bicycle, clocked at 96.8 km/hr.
Wilmot will attempt to break the world speed record for a penny farthing at the Hobart Bikes and Spikes Carnival on December 27th and the Burnie New Year’s Eve Carnival on December 31st.
She’ll also try to break the flying kilometre world record for penny farthings at the Devonport Carnival on December 29th.
