awesome! 2 years ago I built a similar bike. I used a Fuji BT-50SB model plane engine turning a Zinger 20X8 pusher prop. I weigh 250 lbs. With my GPS mounted to the handlebars, I once got it to 42mph on level ground. I'll never do that again! Felt unsafe. I typically ride @ 20mph. For nearly a year I rode it 45 minutes to work every day. It made the ride to work in the morning fun. Also saved me money on gas. I still ride it for fun now and then. I need to make a video of it sometime.

Wazzup my fellow CPO brother? Can't believe I just came across this video. Freaking hillarious, Homer. I wonder if that would be legal to use on my bike at a tri?
