Jack Taylor and Alfie Barraclough are the youngest people ever to hold the record.

Jack Taylor, 11, from Leeds, and Alfie Barraclough, 10, from Bradford, clocked 48mph in a 500m dash on their custom-built bike.

The challenge, at Elvington Airfield near York on Saturday, saw Jack in the driving seat while Alfie was laid down on the sidecar as the pair hit the UK & International Timing Adjudication record speed. Jack said the challenge was exhilarating and added: "We held on very tightly. I had to tuck in tight and Alfie had to tuck in tight towards my legs as well."
