City bicycling can include a number of aspects outside of the actual riding. It can also incorporate the idea of modification because people may enjoy the idea of working with these structures in order to give them their own personal touches. What about adding a new seat that was different from the other for the sake of extra comfort? It seems like while there are these smaller changes, there are larger ones which, quite frankly, have to be seen in order for them to be truly believed.
On the Internet, we see such outrageous videos that we cannot help but to continue watching time and time again. I think "Numa Numa" was what kicked off the trend and even to this day you will see clips that will go viral, even if they may not stand the test of time in the constantly moving nature of the online world. Nowadays, it seems like just about any unique clip will gain a great amount of views, whether it is a comedy sketch or a self-made video of a kitten being cute. Just about anything can gain publicity.
An article was written on Mashable, talking about Francois Gissy, a French bike rider who clearly wanted to add more to his city bicycling. In case you haven't heard of this particular story, he decided to attach a rocket against the vehicle for the sake of - you guessed it - a greater speed. He got his wish and then some, as the vehicle can travel at 163 miles per hour. It's the kind of act which can draw the attention of anyone, those invested in authorities such as Linus Bike included.
I don't think anyone is going to be startled by the fact that this broke a world record, either. After all, how many vehicles - are you aware of that - can achieve this degree of speed without a motor? The utilization of a rocket has shown that people can be very creative, though is this finding going to have much longstanding use apart from entertainment? Even if it doesn't, at the very least the two videos will be watched by viewers for some time to come.
I'm sure that anyone with any rational sense can say just how dangerous this can be out of the hands of professionals, though. After all, bicycling in general was not made for rockets and I don't believe that those who were close to the people making these videos didn't have qualms beforehand. As much as we don't want to watch the videos because of how dangerous they are, we do so anyway. Sometimes we can't turn away from the kinds of videos which are downright fascinating.
