Door Industry Journal - Summer 2015

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 64 THE door industry journal summer 2015 garage doors SIXTY MINUTES WELL SPENT! When self-effacing Sir Bradley Wiggins sat in the barber’s chair on a Sunday morning a few weeks ago, his barber was blissfully unaware of the day in store for Britain’s much loved two-wheel champion. “What you got on today, then?” quizzed the barber. “Oh not much!” retorted Bradley in typically modest fashion. Just a few hours later, in the full glare of the media and his adoring public Wiggins took on the record for the most distance covered on a bicycle in one hour. Not content with being a multiple World and Olympic champion and the first Briton to win the highly coveted Tour de France, Wiggins went for the iconic hour record – a record he’d previously not considered attempting. Somewhat surprising as Wiggins is perhaps best known in his field for being a time trial specialist. Did Bradley break the record? No, he absolutely smashed it with 1 minute 42 seconds to spare, ultimately cycling 54.526km or 33.88 miles in old money. Not bad, eh? This got me thinking – What could YOU do in an hour?
