"Motor madman Bob Maddox is back with a twin-engine jet bike that makes the raucous rocket he rode last year look tame.

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."

Somehow I'm SURE the UCI won't allow this ... :wink:

Cyclist? But where are the pedals? :shock:

UCI won't allow it because it disadvantages the draftees... :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's got a Brooks saddle. Surely that makes it a bicycle even without pedals?
