1. A casual cyclist 12.5 km/h

   The bicycle is one of the most efficient machines ever made, turning muscle into distance better than walking.

   Despite their bulk, elephants are the only animals that cannot jump, keeping at least one foot down at all times.

3. A powerful soccer free kick 132 km/h

   A well-struck free kick can swerve in mid-air as spin and airflow bend its path around a defensive wall.

   A golden eagle can spot a rabbit from over three kilometres away, then fold its wings into a lethal stoop.

5. A Formula 1 car at top speed 372 km/h

   An F1 car generates so much downforce it could, in theory, drive upside down on a ceiling at speed.

6. A meteor entering the atmosphere 50K km/h
