That said, I believe the speed record bicycle without any sort of drafting is by Sam Whittingham (Canada) at 78 mph. The bike was a custom recumbent (of course) with an aero shell, named the Diablo II.

Actually, he's broken his own record and has reached a top speed of 81 mph. I seem to remember reading he's reached 82 mph but I can't seem to find anything now...
