Flagged for misleading title. The title makes it sound like he's a runner, which would certainly be surprising.

Better title would be:

"Canadian man breaks record for fastest man-powered vehicle" or something.



While I agree that the title can be misleading, it is the original title of the article which I thought one was required to use.


The guidelines say to change the title if it's clickbait:

"Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait."[1]

In these cases, usually the recommendation is to use the subtitle. "Saskatchewan native Todd Reichert rides the fastest vehicle powered by muscle"
