The 75 MPH Bicycle That's Powered by a Jet Engine
Robert Maddox is a builder and seller of real pulse jet engines with powers up to 1000 pounds... and if that's not a cool enough hobby, he's also bolted one to a bicycle.

You can hear and see the results of this DIY craziness in the video. More » -
