message: Greg Kolodziejzyk's record has subsequently been broken (three times) so I've updated it.  Since it was recently on the telly, is it worth ferreting out multi-rider records or is that a bit too specialised? Mr Larrington (talk) 14:55, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  24 Hour Record 

message: There are now separate entries for all named cyclists except Marcel Planes & Bernard Bennett.  Does anyone know a reliable source of information for these cyclists ? Find bruce (talk) 11:20, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Dunno, but there is a third challenger attempting the record; Miles Smith who is currently pounding out the miles around Port Philip, Australia.  He was forced to restart his year after suffering a collapsed lung.  Steve Abraham has had his problems too, sustaining a broken ankle after a collision with a moped at the end of March.  Although back on the bike inside a couple of weeks he has just (August 8th) started a concurrent attempt.  Tarzan has avoided major setbacks thus far and is knocking out 200+ mile days in Wisconsin. Mr Larrington (talk) 17:58, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I think the page is convoluted enough without trying to list the people who are attempting to break the record - as Abraham, Searvogel & Smith demonstrate, plenty can happen along the way.  I would only include people who succeed. Find bruce (talk) 01:28, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

text: Kurt Searvogel's wife - they married duriing the record year - is called Alicia.  I wonder if they might by any chance be related?  She is starting her own attempt on the (women's) record tomorrow!  Kajsa Tylen is now five months into her own attempt on Billie Dovey's record, with a goal of 50,000 km, while US endurance rider Amanda Coker has recently started an attempt.  If she's able to maintain her current pace she'll break the outright record. Mr Larrington (talk) 14:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The possibility had occurred to me, but (1) I have no evidence (2) assume good faith & most importantly (3) the edit mostly improved the quality of the article.  So far so good for Kajsa. Amanda has had a very impressive start.  Hopefully both will be able to avoid any major setbacks. Find bruce (talk) 22:29, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  World Endurance record for distance in a calendar year 

message: I have deleted the paragraph about Sean Kelly's road speed as (1) the "record" it is not recognised or maintained by any authority; (2) the speed does not appear to have been verified by anyone & (3) there is no reliable source - the sole source is an unattributed quote from the ride himself more than 25 years after the event.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Find bruce (talk • contribs) 23:19, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

message: The hour record 1997-2014 on upright track 'Merckx' bicycles without disc wheels, time-trial helmets, monocoque frames etc. no longer exists. The UCI abolished it when they introduced the unified hour record. Why can't this be removed? The main article on the Hour Record is the place for historical records.--Darrelljon (talk) 12:08, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

message: ‎ has added an entry for Amanda Coker for 30 days. So far as I am aware there is no authority that recognises any such record, particularly when the date selection appears to simply be a random choice, not connected to a calendar month nor announced in advance. The authority cited is simply the distance recorded for Amanda during her attempt at the year record. I have nothing against Amanda, quite the opposite, she is riding some amazing distances. In my view however this falls into the category of yet another unverified claim and there is nothing notable about it. I have previously reverted the edit, however it has now been re-insterted. Rather than enter into an edit war I am posting here to ascertain support for either position or an alternative. Find bruce (talk) 03:24, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The UMCA does recognise month records provided, as you'd expect, that they're notified in advance.  I believe Amanda is in the middle of one at the moment and is banging out 260-270 mile days with terrifying regularity, but we'll have to wait until the UMCA announces it officially. Mr Larrington (talk) 11:26, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that the UMCA and Guinness have recognised world records I have changed the list to reflect the rest of the article & only include current records. I left Tommy Godwin in as an explanation as to why his remarkable distance wasn't included. Find bruce (talk) 20:52, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

message: I have deleted the claim for an Individual four man team relay record for John O Groats To Lands End because as (1) the "record" is not recognised or maintained by any authority; (2) no reliable source is quoted & (3) in the absence of any reliable source, the editor would appear to have information that is not available to an independent person.
