"On September 20, 2025, a young Frenchman named Oscar Delaite wheelied his way into the record books by riding the longest continuous wheelie on a bicycle. In Vittel, France, Delaite kept his front wheel off the ground for 752 laps of a 200 m indoor track, totaling 150.4 km (93.39 miles) over the course of six and a half hours."
""I finally achieved my wheeling record goal! After a year of preparation, I did the longest wheelie in history: 150 km in 6 hours and 31 minutes, without stopping," said Delaite. "The day went really well. It was hard, long, very long... but it was worth it! Mission accomplished, and I'm super proud to have reached the 150 km mark and fulfilled the contract!""
"The numbers behind the effort are nothing short of mind-boggling. While the result still needs to be officially certified to be validated, Delaite nearly doubled Richard Flanagan's previous record of 81.59 km set in 2019. Riding 150 km with both wheels on the ground takes some serious effort, but to do it in a wheelie is a truly astounding feat of balance and athleticism."
On September 20, 2025, Frenchman Oscar Delaite completed the longest continuous wheelie on a bicycle. He kept his front wheel off the ground for 752 laps of a 200 m indoor track in Vittel, France, totaling 150.4 km (93.39 miles) over six hours and 31 minutes. The effort averaged 23.14 kph (14.38 mph). The result still requires official certification. Delaite nearly doubled the previous record of 81.59 km set in 2019. He rode a rigid-frame bike provided by Rose Bikes with plump Thickslick tires from Wilderness Trail Bikes and used a heavily nose-down saddle position to maintain the wheelie.
