Palate Cleanser Jettiness Part 2 – zero to 207mph in 5 seconds. On a bicycle!

Five seconds – THAT is crazy stupid!  How often do you see a driver of a Ferrari (Scuderia 430) thinking: “I am so screwed!”?

“On November 7th of 2014, on the famous Circuit Paul Ricard located at Le Castellet in South of France, François Gissy has reached an incredible speed of 333 km/h on the rocket-propelled bicycle designed by his friend Arnold Neracher. More than 300 km/h on a skinny and completely stripped bicycle, this is amazing, and crazy! Who thought that one day a daredevil on a bicycle, with a rocket under the saddle, could travel the quarter mile in less than 7 seconds?

Data of the fastest run set on 7 November 2014:
Peak speed: 333 km/h (207 mph) attained after around 250 meters”
