Bicycle hits 207 mph for a 7-second quarter mile pass
Yep, you read right, BICYCLE, rocket powered bicycle that is.  This guy has got to be insane.
I don't even see any pegs where his feet go (tucked way up), so hes just holding on with his hands?!?!

François Gissy's rocket bike already has its own thread 
Though I can see how you missed it; tried to search for Gissy and it came up with nothing ???
Anyhow, he does not use footrests as his lags are just dangling besides the rocket engine... see the images from the rear mounted camera.

I love the way it leaves the Ferrari like it's standing still.

It's Wacky Racers! With all due respect, no offense intended but every time he powers up and goes I see him as a cartoon version with legs flying freely |

Technically, if it's powered, isn't it a motorcycle? |

No, because wouldn't it need a "motor"? It's a rocketcycle. But then, most bikers are actually tooling around on enginecycles. :/
