Jet Cyclist Hits 73 MPH and Lives to Tell the Tale

Post by Sabre »

My first contribution to this forum!

Full Article
He recently bolted a dual-exhaust pulse jet engine to the side of an ordinary bicycle, donned a leather jacket and helmet and then held on tight as he peeled off a 73-mph run down a deserted back road. And we thought he was crazy when he hit 50 mph on one of his single-engine contraptions last year.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Technically, I think this would be DC0WD seeing as there are no drive wheels. Still cool though.

Now that is insanity.

Tires?

Wheel bearings?

Structural integrity?

BRAKES??!?!?!

I wouldn't want to touch that with a ten foot pole. Kudos to the testicular fortitude of the designer though. :dropgob:
