Coldest Bicycle Race In The World Held At -45°C
Generally known as the world's coldest city, Yakutsk, in the Sakha Republic, has hosted what must be the chilliest bike race on the planet, with temperatures dropping to -45°C.
 
Even though that some of the cyclists at the Cycling Federation of Yakutia event found that their vehicles froze before the race started, 14 participants set off in thick fog, decked out in balaclavas, gloves and scarves.
 
Yakutsk's population is almost 300,000 and its average winter temperature is -34°C.
 
The male winner of the race, Andrei Popov, finished the 10 kilometer distance in 30 minutes 44 seconds, while the women's winner, who tackled 5km, was Nelly Pakhomova in 29 minutes 51 seconds.
