In 1898, Harry 'Goss' Green created a new London to Brighton and back unpaced cycle record of six hours, eight minutes eleven seconds. On a Pedersen cycle weighing 16lb and with a 100in gear, he had clipped fifteen minutes, fourteen seconds from the previous best time...In 1900 he set about breaking more road records aboard a Pedersen cycle: London to Portsmouth and back, London to Liverpool, World 100 mile, London to York, World 12 hour." - Mr Pedersen, A Man of Genius by David Evans
