My Bike Is Faster Than Yours


Such is the case with Bob Maddox, an artist and cabinetmaker from Medford Oregon. Bob also has a hobby of skydiving and playing with pulse jet engines, and he combined his favorite pastimes by strapping a pulse jet engine on himself while skydiving.

The result was an adrenaline-rush flight. He decided to take it up a notch when he strapped a pulse jet engine to a bicycle. He got it to go 50 miles per hour, but, believe it or not, he was afraid to take it any faster. Maddox says that the bike could have probably gone up to 75 mph, but it was way too fast for an ordinary bicycle.



Who wants to race.
