French man Francois Gissy has built a rocket-powered bicycle.
Today, it took him only 4.8 seconds to reach his top speed of approximately 333kph at the Circuit Paul Ricard racetrack, Marseille, France.
"The bicycle is extremely lightweight, there's no aerodynamic covering and the force of the drag is extreme - maybe 200kg of force on my body." describes Francois about his rocket bicycle.
Despite this amazing feat, a member of the cycling community says that this would "barely cause a ripple" among the mainstream bicycle community.
