Nobody is going to want to go 90mph on a bicycle. Trust me.

I’d give it a try. But the bigger picture is going that fast using that little energy.

Not me. You can’t ride a bicycle comfortably while wearing motorcycle protection.

Of course the Obama regime will require 5mph bumpers, the weight of which will slow the bike down to 4mph!

That’s a three year old video - he was doing “only” 83.6mph.

Here’s a more recent one that includes what happens when you get a flat.

Battle Mountain, I believe, is where Dingy Harry is from. Or was, before the exercise machine kicked his a$$.

I'm afraid you are wrong. Take me back to my twenties and my combined body and skill, including the requisite reflexes, and I'd do it. I'm sure I'm not alone. I was skiing pretty fast then, water skiing as fast as the boats would go, carting at 70+ on a long road course, I weighed only 118 - 126. I once beat a Volkswagen in a short drag race.

Now, would I do it every day? For enough money, maybe!

I want to know how he can see where he going in that thing.

He only needs to go straight but even with that he needs to be able to make corrections to keep going straight.

Actually, Dingy Harry is from Searchlight, NV, which is at the far southern end of Nevada while Battle Mountain is in northern Nevada.

So how does the driver see where he is going or does that matter?
