one fast bike, the Bicicle

[brian falkner <falken@ihug.co.nz>]

New world record!.  Gravity assisted for Sure.
How bout 212.139 KMH downhill on a bicycle!.
Frenchman Christian Taillefer is definetely nuts!.
He spent one & a half years preparing for his icy slope record attempt in
the French Alps using a Puegeot bike costing around $500.000. The bike &
him in a special suit & helmet were wind tunnel tested to a simulated 200
kmh beforehand.

Is that Icicle with a "B" !!???
