A fearless Frenchman, Francois Gissy has broken a world record for having the fastest bicycle ever, zooming along at 207 mph thanks to some rocket power that the bicycle uses. Huff’ Post has more:
Francois Gissy went on his world record-beating run at a racetrack in Le Castellet in the South of France on Friday, reaching the speed in 4.8 seconds after traveling 250 meters, or about 820 feet.
The bike, from Exotic Thermo Engineering, was designed by Gissy’s friend, Arnold Neracher. Gissy told Gizmag that it was powered by highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide.
The bike was so fast it left a Ferrari F430 — which can go from 0 to 62 mph in 4 seconds — in the dust, or at least a cloud of rocket smoke.
A second clip, below, shows the event in part from the point of view of the Ferrari’s driver. It’s in French, but the imagery is priceless.
Don’t expect Gissy to slow down any time soon. He already has plans for his next ride.
