Shanaze Reade sets Guinness World Record!
Created:
Using Gusset, Halo and ODI parts on her bike, Shanaze clocked a speed of 26.8mph on the Wall Of Death.
BMX star Shanaze Reade has set a new Guinness World Record after becoming the fastest person ever – male or female – to ride a bicycle around a ‘Wall of Death.’
The 27-year-old from Crewe undertook her record-breaking ride live on Channel 4 as part of the Guy Martin’s Wall of Death show, which focused on the Isle of Man TT rider’s own attempt on the motorbike record.
Martin’s effort was carried out on a custom-built 120 metre track in an aircraft hangar in his home county of Lincolnshire.
Reade took to a smaller, more traditional Wall of Death to set her pedal-powered speed of 26.8mph.

Afterwards, she tweeted a picture of herself and Martin – who achieved a speed of 78.15mph – holding the certificates that prove they are the holders of the respective Guinness World Records.
Shanaze used a custom Saracen ALX (the same frame that Halo Wheels Team Rider Blake Samson rides) loaded with parts from Gusset, Halo wheels and ODI grips.
