The guy who completed Paris-Brest-Paris on a Kickbike is Alpo Kuusisto
from Finland. He is the only person to have done this (he finished in
about 85 hours). He also holds the world record for fastest marathon
(42.195 kilometers or 26.219 miles) on a kick scooter (1:20:03), and
longest distance ridden in 15, 20 and 24 hours (his 24 hour record is
322.5 miles, set on Aug. 31, 2002).
