Guy Martin Breaks Land Speed Record...

On a "Velocepede" which he helped build for the hugely entertaining new series if you get past the adverts the ride is at 44 minutes, the restoration on the mill turbine is excellent.

Not available in my country.  Were we bad?

I thought as it was a comercial tv program that the UTube link would work Stateside, basically Guy is fronting a TV programme called how Britain worked charting the Industrial revolution in this one he helped restore the oldest known working water tubine and used it to build a copy of the first peddle bicycle demonstrating the various crafts along the way.
He decided to ride it down a steep hill to test it much to the concern of everyone else who thought it was pretty dangerous but as Guy pointed out " it ought to be a doddle compaired to 190mph round the IOM"
The various programs have been very intresting there is a link on this page which my work, the mill is in the middle of some teriffic biking country
