=== Unified hour record attempts (women's) ===
[[File:Evelyn Stevens Battenkill 2009.jpg|thumb|Former record holder, [[Evelyn Stevens (cyclist)|Evelyn Stevens]] (pictured in 2009)]]
The last women's hour record before the unified rule change was set on 1 October 2003 by [[Leontien van Moorsel]], with a distance of {{convert|46.065|km|mi|abbr=on}}.

In December 2014, it was announced that British Paralympian [[Sarah Storey]] would be the first woman to attempt the record following the unified rule change. She attempted the record on 28 February 2015 at [[London Velopark|Lee Valley Velo Park]] in London, setting new British, Para-Cycling and Masters Age 35–39 records but missing out on the Elite record with a distance of {{convert|45.502|km|mi|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/12/news/britains-sarah-storey-tackle-womens-hour-record_356110|title=Britain's Sarah Storey to tackle women's hour record|work=VeloNews.com|date=2014-12-16|access-date=2014-12-16|archive-date=2014-12-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141217022518/http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/12/news/britains-sarah-storey-tackle-womens-hour-record_356110|url-status=live}}</ref>

American [[Molly Shaffer Van Houweling]] broke the women's UCI Hour Record, riding a distance of {{convert|46.273|km|mi|abbr=on}} on 12 September 2015 in [[Aguascalientes City|Aguascalientes]], Mexico.<ref name="Molly SVH UCI July 2015">{{cite web |title=Molly Shaffer Van Houweling makes history with new women's UCI Hour Record |url=http://www.uci.ch/pressreleases/molly-shaffer-van-houweling-makes-history-with-new-women-uci-hour-record/ |website=www.uci.ch |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150914204916/http://www.uci.ch/pressreleases/molly-shaffer-van-houweling-makes-history-with-new-women-uci-hour-record/ |archive-date = 2015-09-14 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Van Houweling had set three new US Hour Records in the year prior. The first was set on 15 December 2014, in [[Carson, California]], with a distance of {{convert|44.173|km|mi|abbr=on}}. The second was set on 25 February 2015, in Aguascalientes with a distance of {{convert|45.637|km|mi|abbr=on}}. The third was set on 3 July 2015, also in Aguascalientes, with a distance of {{convert|46.088|km|mi|abbr=on}}. This last mark was also the [[Americas|Pan-American]] and World Masters Age 40–44 record at the time, and exceeded the distance of the UCI hour record of van Moorsel. However, it did not qualify as the UCI Hour Record because Van Houweling had only been enrolled in the athlete biological passport program for three and a half months prior to setting this record. The UCI requires that riders be enrolled in this program for 5–10 months before they are eligible to set this mark.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/02/news/van-houweling-sets-pan-american-hour-record-mexico_361696 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190917072758/https://www.velonews.com/2015/02/news/van-houweling-sets-pan-american-hour-record-mexico_361696 |archive-date=17 September 2019 |url-status=dead |title=Van Houweling sets Pan American Record |work=velonews |date=2015-02-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://norcalcyclingnews.com/2015/07/05/van-houweling-sets-hour-record-of-46088/|title=Van Houweling sets Hour Record of 46,088m|work=norcalcyclingnews|access-date=2015-07-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150910203332/http://norcalcyclingnews.com/2015/07/05/van-houweling-sets-hour-record-of-46088/|archive-date=2015-09-10|url-status=usurped}}</ref> From 24 August 2015, Van Houweling was eligible to attempt the UCI Hour Record.<ref>{{cite web|title = News shorts: Gesink abandons Tour de Pologne with fatigue|url = http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/news-shorts-gesink-abandons-tour-de-pologne-with-fatigue/|website = Cyclingnews.com|date = 4 August 2015|access-date = 2015-12-02|archive-date = 2015-12-08|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151208072553/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/news-shorts-gesink-abandons-tour-de-pologne-with-fatigue/|url-status = live}}</ref>

In October 2015, Australian rider [[Bridie O'Donnell]] announced her intention to aim for the hour record in January 2016. She broke the women's hour at the [[Adelaide Super-Drome]] on 22 January 2016, riding {{convert|46.882|km|abbr=on}}. She was aged 41 years. Her record was broken by American rider [[Evelyn Stevens (cyclist)|Evelyn Stevens]] in the next month - the new record was {{convert|47.980|km|abbr=on}}, more than a kilometre nearer to the {{convert|50|km|adj=on|abbr=on}} barrier.

Italian rider [[Vittoria Bussi]], after two unsuccessful attempts on 7 October 2017<ref name="Bussi 2017"/> and on 12 September 2018, broke Stevens' world record by 27 metres riding {{convert|48.007|km|mi|abbr=on}} on 13 September 2018.<ref name="Bussi 2018"/>

British cyclist [[Joss Lowden]] set a new world record on 30 September 2021 with a distance of {{convert|48.405|km|mi|abbr=on}}, beating the previous record by just under 400 metres,<ref>{{cite web|date=2021-09-30|title=Joss Lowden rides 48.405km in new world hour record|url=https://www.velonews.com/news/joss-lowden-rides-48-405km-in-new-world-hour-record/|access-date=2021-09-30|website=VeloNews.com|archive-date=2021-09-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210930163648/https://www.velonews.com/news/joss-lowden-rides-48-405km-in-new-world-hour-record/|url-status=live}}</ref> and also surpassing [[Jeannie Longo]]'s Best Human Effort distance.
