More Than 1,000 Miles on a Stationary Bike

Forty-nine-year-old George Hood of suburban Chicago rode a stationary bike for 85 consecutive hours. He spun more than 1,000 miles and averaged close to 13 MPH.

Hood had hoped to ride for 85:30, but Veronica Myers, 53, of Arlington Heights, pointed out that she had signed up for that bike at that time on the previous Tuesday and insisted that he dismount. That part is not true.
