Surely that guy has road rash on his enormously huge balls. That's crazy!

Cool, but doesn't it completely defeat the purpose of a bicycle? Or really, all the purposes? (exercise, pollution, fuel consumption)

Bicycle + (rocket) motor = motorcycle.

N'est pas?

I don't care if he looks like an elf, he's got big brass ones.

Hummm, he didn't pedal did he? I remember 'ol John Howard when he went fast as I used to race bicycles against him in the 70s and 80s. He pedaled! Here's a link:

Just wondering about his brakes - not that they'd be much good to him.

Looks to me like hydrogen peroxide and platinum catalyst, like the jet pack guys.
