There’s just something about people strapping jet engines to things they have no business being strapped to that brings a twinkle to our eyes, and Robert Maddox’s pulsejet-powered bicycle is no exception. Maddox actually sells pulsejets on eBay ranging from fourteen to over a thousand pounds of thrust, and the fifty-pounder in this video is capable of moving his bicycle at a whopping 75MPH. Sure, it’s loud, but at least it’s more practical than that jet-powered Port-a-Potty. Video after the break.
I took a look at the video below and the terrain looked kinda familiar. Turns out Robert Maddox is from Medford. ROTFL! Anyone know this guy?

What’s so funny about Medford? Just because we’re more renowned for our hobo I-5 cyclists than for our top notch racers…
