Just when you thought bicycles have become another hipsters accessory, some dude attaches what is effectively a rocket to his bike, and makes the whole cycling thing awfully cool again! Frenchman François Gissy (who’s a bus driver by day) rode his rocket-powered bicycle to a jaw-dropping, white-knuckle-inducing, sphincter-puckering speed of about 330km/h. Yes, you read that right: Three hundred and thirty kilometres an hour. On a bicycle. That’s faster than any hot hatch (or even some super cars for that matter) folks! Admittedly, Gissys bike of choice is a bit different to your standard fixie. Without wanting to sound like a MENSA science club, Gissys bike utilizes quite a fair bit of hydrogen peroxide, which is passed over metals. When this combines with oxygen, it creates an almighty amount of go that leaves a Ferrari Scuderia wondering which way it went at Paul Ricards long straight in the South of France! Dont try this at home kids...
