Jet-powered bike is not safe

pulse_jet_bike.jpgLook, if you want to get to work faster, you should drive a car. I know you ride your bike to help save the environment and exercise and all those noble reasons, but let's be honest: adding jet propulsion to your bicycle kind of defeats both of those purposes.

And really, this bike, which has a WWII-era buzzjet attached, has a better probability of ending your commute with you as a fine paste on a brick wall than a few minutes early to work. But hey, you know, if you're the adventurous type and you love WWII relics, I guess this is as good a combo as any to suit your needs.

Megatron's new disquise

a very small jet engine would be a good way to add 10mph or so to your pedaling speed. I usually average @15mph on my 10mile commute. Averaging 25mph would shorten my ride time from @40 minutes to almost half that. Are there any other types of bicycle engines that let you ADD to your pedaling power instead of replacing it?
