I don't think that the idea of modification when it comes to city bicycling is especially surprising. After all, people go about maintenance all the time because they know that these vehicles have to be cared for. Some people may want to utilize different wheels because they offer better handling, for example. However, there are just some additions which make me shake my head in wonder because of the sheer fact that such modifications were done in order to give the vehicle a more outrageous layer.
I think that anyone who knows anything about the Internet understands just how much press certain videos can attain. Do you remember when "Numa Numa" was the biggest craze and people couldn't get that song out of their heads? It seems like certain visuals are tough to get out of the mind, even if they come from the most popular videos featuring kittens and puppies. Regardless of what the subject matter may be, it seems like just about anything has the potential to attain a great number of views.
Mashable posted an article about Francois Gissy, a French bicyclist who decided to add something quite interesting to city bicycling. Basically, he utilized a rocket, setting it against the bike in order to increase the speed at which the vehicle would travel at. With said rocket being incorporated, the bike managed to reach a velocity of 163 miles per hour, which is a startling statistic for anyone who's into fascinating stories. This is especially interesting for authorities which specialize in the vehicles, Linus Bike included.
It may not be surprising but this statistic actually managed to break a world record. Personally, I don't see the reason of adding a rocket to a bicycle, even if the speed is so tremendous that very few vehicles powered by man can ever rival. I suppose you have to look at this trend from an entertainment standpoint. As far as entertainment is concerned, I think that one is able to fit the bill, as the two videos I've seen have almost 100,000 views between them.
I think that anyone, outside of entertainment, can tell you that this kind of action does not seem safe. People who aren't trained in this regard stand a great chance of hurting themselves because they don't understand the kind of power that rockets have. There has to be a great understanding of what's in store or else it's possible that mistakes will occur. Speaking just from the perspective of someone who likes entertainment, though, I think that it's tough to deny the appeal of fascinating showings.
