Meet the Guinness World Record holder for longest & fastest wheelies on a bike

As a child, Rich Flanagan wished to be a basketball player or a golfer (because they make a lot of money playing their sport), but wheelies are his calling.
Rich Flanagan is a two time wheelie riding Guinness World recorder holder. Flanagan, the 56-year-old grandfather of three, father of five, was born in Bowie but now lives in Crofton, Md. In 2016 and 2017 respectively, he set the records for the farthest distance bicycle wheelie in one hour (16.07 miles) and the fastest bicycle wheelie over 100 meters (10.86 seconds). on.wusa9.com/30LPyAB
This fall, he's making his first attempt at a third Guinness World record: the longest ever wheelie ride. The record is currently held by an Austrian man who clocked in about 26 miles, but Flanagan is aiming to blow that record out of the water with a cool 100 mile ride! Why is he aiming to set the bar so high? "Because I think I can," Flanagan said.
