What to remember
In 2017, American ultra-cyclist Amanda Coker rode 139,296.3 km in 365 days. It is the world endurance record for distance cycled in a calendar year, which she has held since 2017.
The record has a long history. In 1911, Marcel Planes covered 55,790 km; in 1939, Tommy Godwin raised the mark to 120,805 km. It took until 2016 for Kurt Searvogel to go further, with 122,561 km.
Since the 1911 mark, the distance has been multiplied by 2.5. Born in North Carolina, Amanda Coker went past Searvogel's total the very next year.
