There's some chucklesome stories on that site

“This sort of thing doesn’t tend to happen on traditional bicycles, since the upright body position automatically forces you to stay awake.”

That's certainly not true. Being upright may prevent you from staying asleep, but not from falling asleep.

Its a very old story and complete rubbish of course.

Rubbish? But it's on the internet so it must be true!

Well, there you go. Of course we all believed that someone could pedal 1000km in their sleep, but thanks you for straightening us out.

Now, what's your feeling about whether there is a ww ii bomber on the moon? That ones been puzzling me for years.

(which is the sarcasm emoji?)

1,000 miles whilst asleep!

And at an average speed of 111mph.
Of course, I can do that in my sleep too, it's when I'm awake that I struggle.
