Yes a horse would win by far, those things go much faster then you think hehe, but maybe if you were riding a high powered electric bike? hehe

I concur they are truly fast in shorter distances..Arabian horses are widely known for their velocity..I would go for horse they can be run faster than the man on bike. Australia horseback riding
