rocket powered bike
Has anyone ever seen a rocket powered bike? There is this guy who brings his to the coffee place, I think it has a propane tank and a large output nozzle on the back

Rocket, or jet power? Check youtube for some guy in New York that has a jet engine on his bike.

Apparently there are several people with them...

Does anyone know what type of propellant they use?

Looks like a very large RC plane engine. Couldn't tell you about the propellant, but count on a pommy to bolt it up to an R20. Bad choice of platform.

Here is a neat natural gas powered rocket bike.

You have to go up in order to come down. Why is the up part always so steep?

At what point is too fast on a bike, you start wobbling eventually?
