In June 2015, Bradly Wiggins set the record by riding 33.88 miles (54.52km) in one hour breaking the previous record set a few weeks earlier by Dowsett of 32.894 miles (52.9km).

It is worth pointing out that Victor Campenaerts surpassed Wiggins recorded in an indoor velodrome on April 16, 2019, with a distance of 34.23 miles (55.1km). I believe he passed a Trabant in the process...
