With the big wheel so large as to keep the feet off the ground,
4 more wheels make sense to keep the bike and rider in balance,
during stop-and-go travel.

Dignity?

Dignity? Royal Mail dude?

xoxoxoBruce · 09-11-2015, 05:54 PM

Go power.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-12-2015, 05:44 PM

They know what's up.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-12-2015, 05:52 PM

Did you know Griff went to Bali?

xoxoxoBruce · 09-17-2015, 05:19 AM

Is this for city riders that ignore traffic signals, or country riders that say, hold my beer and watch this?

BigV · 09-17-2015, 03:34 PM

Nor does it make you a pedestrian.

Some dude just broke the world record for human-powered vehicles with a recumbent, streamliner bike, in Nevada. That's where the World Human Powered Speed Challenge is going on, rfn.

Griff · 09-19-2015, 12:49 PM

That's pretty quick for human power. My personal best is 47mph but on a hill.

Gravdigr · 09-19-2015, 01:31 PM

You need a riding partner to go faster. Like a puma. Behind you.

Griff · 09-19-2015, 01:51 PM

Cats are bad at partner work.

My buddy got up to 55mph with his bike... on the flat.

He was hanging onto the pipe rack on the side of my Dad's pickup and too scared to let go. When I stopped he wanted to know how fast I went so I told him 28.

Gravdigr · 09-30-2015, 01:51 PM

207 mph on a bicycle. I don't know if it even has pedals...

...but, it does have 944 lbs of thrust.

And it just ate a Ferrari's lunch:

Ok, it's got pedals.

"darwin"

I watched it, and the part where the camera is showing the exhaust plume and the rapidly receding start line, I'm thinking how crucial it was to have the axis of the rocket aligned with the roadway, because, there's no correcting that kind of thrust, it's just gonna go where it's pointed. Please, baby jesus, point it down the road and not into that tree, or the barrier, etc. Never mind the idea of having that bomb pressed directly against his nuts. I mean, that's nuts.

Just, just, wow.
