This is nuts and his must be huge!
What happens when you bolt a jet engine to a bicycle? You'd imagine "certain death" but you'd be wrong. Just look at that thing go!
It leaves a 630 horse power Ferrari 430 Scuderia behind and gets to 200 Mph in under 5 seconds.
It pulled 19g when accelerating so he must have an iron grip just to hold on.
Fascinating but to be honest a very dangerous thing to do .
If something were to break during mid flight or even a wind gust stirred up during the run,
you could crash and as one can see there is no rigid cage protection to save you.
Yeah, I don't think it will catch on for anyone's daily commute any time soon.
There can't be many things that accelerate like that with a human at the controls.
I'm surprised he didn't get speed wobbles and lose it!
Talk about a rush though, I've gone 50 MPH. down hill on a bike and I thought that was exhilarating.
wow - he is faster then the famous fast Jehu ;-)
I hope he didn't have one of those bikes where the pedals didn't free-wheel ... remember going down a hill and reaching the point where you couldn't keep your feet on?!
It's actually kind of funny that it even has peddles on at all.
Not to worry, his bike had coaster brakes.
The next news head line will be ... " Man on jet propelled bike wipes out and seriously hurts himself "
TOUR DE FORCE DE FRANCE. Gyroscopic stabilizing effects of spinning wheels is huge.
