Yes, Alexei Leonov made the first spacewalk on March 18, 1965, during the Voskhod 2 mission. He exited the spacecraft and floated in space for about 12 minutes, a historic moment in human space exploration.
Every spacewalk (EVA) has a different purpose. Some of them are to attach new parts to the International Space Station and some are to repair it. Some of them are to repair the Hubbble Space Telescope.
That.s an impossible question unless you include quite a few specifics. Is it with a flying start, or from standstill? Is it on road, track or terrain? Is it with an UCI-approved bike, or a more specialized build? What height above sea level? Is it a single rider or a team? Do the rider have a pace vehicle to break the wind?
