On November 7th of 2014, on the Circuit Paul Ricard<br />located at Le Castellet in South of France, I have reached<br />a speed of 333 km/h on a rocket-propelled bicycle, after<br />only 4.8 seconds of acceleration. A velocity of more<br />than 300 km/h on a skinny and completely stripped<br />bicycle, this is amazing, and a bit crazy! Who thought<br />that one day a daredevil on a bicycle, with a rocket under<br />the saddle, could travel the quarter mile in less than 7<br />seconds?<br />Some data:<br />O to 333 km/h in 4.8 seconds<br />Thrust: 4.51 kN / 460 kgf<br />Peak acceleration: 3.05g<br />Average acceleration: 1.96 g<br />Peak deceleration at rocket shutoff (due to the<br />aerodynamic drag): -1.4 g<br />
