Rocket Powered Bicycle World Record: 0 - 207 mph In 4.7 Seconds

Swiss Rocket Man Francois Gissy straps a rocket to a bicycle and reaches 333 km/h (207 mph) in 4.7 seconds, breaking his own previous world record.

The hydrogen powered rocket produces the equivalent of 560 horsepowers and generates an accelaration of 1.96 G.  Francois Gissy uses a normal bicycle - without aerodynamic enclosures, rear suspension, or even disc brakes.  Even a Ferrari Scuderia can't keep up with it!
