I always thought he was just a rich full of himself douchebag but he's quickly changing that opinion

The advantage is downhill and on the flats. On the climbs, a conventional bike is a better choice because you can get out of the saddle. For someone who doesn't ride a lot, a recumbent is a lot more comfortable than a standard bike. I think it's a smart move on his part.

Energy-wise it's huge. If he's geared correctly and stays close enough to the back of the van, he should have little problem completing the distance in the allotted time. It's an unfair advantage.

Definitely not a risk-free strategy!

Disagree. BP just posted the stipulations on twitter. There were 3.

1. Must start by 11:59 3-31
2. No assistance from any motorized vehicle or device.
3. Must be completed in 48 hrs.

Clearly he violated #2.

Well for those watching the periscope or whatever, seems like BP's been doing a fair bit of chatting / commentary...has he mentioned the van yet?

Somewhere in this thread -- weeks before Dan started his ride -- someone mentioned this exact possibility: drafting behind a vehicle of some sort. There's no way Dan / BP didn't read this thread, so I really can't imagine it was something where Dan showed up with a drafting-van and caught BP completely by surprise...

So you're saying drafting behind a vehicle is not assistance?

Clearly, you've never drafted behind a vehicle before.

lol at not calling drafting behind a vehicle not an advantage, its a huge advantage drafting behind another bicyclist for ****s sake, hence why bicycle teams take turns on lying in the front, as so do even opponents, if lets say 3 guys break from the big group, they keep a higher pace to seperate them but they take turns on whom is in the front to save energy, they have a silent gentlemans agreement to do this otherwise they cant seperate themself from the pack to begin with because the one who goes in front will 100% not hold it. Whenever they decide to sprint its free for all though.

Status update?
And for how much of the race thus far did Dan have the drafting-van in front of him? All of it? How long is the 'leg' for which he's going to stop using it? Sweet angle, but refuse to believe it's not something both participants thought of before booking the bet.

(And Dan has most certainly read this thread in the past)

So Bill allowed him to ride a recumbent bike, draft directly behind a van, walk his bike up hills, and take drugs.

This whole thing turned out to be pretty lame and unimpressive. Bills might as well have just handed him 600k and scrapped the ride.

Would Dan be allowed to attach a giant sail to his bicycle, and let the wind push him along so he didn't even have to pedal?

That's using wind assistance like he's doing now, and also not using assistance from a motorized vehicle, which he may or may not be doing now depending on your interpretation. At some point, without a legally binding contract in place, does the spirit of the rules take priority?

Dan seems like a major pussy now. Seriously who makes a bike riding bet, then goes and changes the whole dynamic of what real bike riding is. An average scummy hustler I would expect this from. Dans just been put in that catagory. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Gonna be fun to see how bovada pays out considering it says used of PEDS results in a loss. Guessing they'll just pick whatever side they stand to win more money on.
