Well worth a look if you like rally cars and the Breitling Rocket Man in a race with each other...

A bit of fun.  The competition aspect is pure cinema.

That rocketman's achievement is quite amazing.  Just landing under the parachute carrying the wing and jet engines would be very demanding, quite apart from the aerodynamics of his flight.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
