Red Bull Vél'Eau 2026: Daredevils Race Homemade Bikes Over Water In Lille
Homemade tandem bikes, a winding track over water, and one goal—stay dry. The Red Bull Vél'Eau returned to Lille, France, bringing together teams with creatively built steel tandem bikes for one of the world's most entertaining cycling challenges. Riders navigated a twisting course suspended above water, aiming to ring the finish bell without taking a plunge. Speed wasn't the only factor. Teams were also judged on the originality of their homemade bikes and costumes, making the event a spectacular mix of engineering, creativity and comedy.
