Here's What It Looks Like to Go 333 km/h on a Bicycle
Bravo to François Gissy for continuing to reach truly ridiculous velocities on his rocket-powered bicycle. The amazing Frenchman recently hung on for a series of runs at Circuit Paul Ricard where he bashed through his old record and showed a Ferrari who was boss.
We thought it was crazy enough last year when Nissy hit 263 km/h on his rocket bike down a stretch of French highway. Clearly, the cycle's designer, Arnold Neracher, has kept hard at work on the project, though. In the latest runs, Nissy managed a top speed 333km/h, blowing last year's results up in a huge puff of smoke.
The speed alone is impressive enough, but seeing how quickly he attains it makes the video truly mind-boggling. The cycle is little more than a white streak going down the track. For sake of comparison, Nissy also lines up for a drag race with the Ferrari to show what quick really looks like – this bike is truly a crotch rocket.
