Peter Beck, the guy who started Rocketlab, did this years ago with a similar hydrogen peroxide powered bike. They all laughed when he lined up for a drag against a Viper. Which didn't see which way he went. Annihilated it.

Took a lot longer than 4.7 seconds to stop it! Amazing. I guess the stability comes from the sheer centripedal force of the spinning wheels, but it did go round a sweeping corner. It would take a huge amount of strength to turn the handle bars at that speed.

Wonder what tyres he has on it? Im sure normal bicycle tyres would just explode at 200+mph.
You mean the gyroscopic force? This actually has little to do with bike remaining upright, in fact, we still do not fully know why bikes don't fall over. You can still ride a bike made specifically to cancel out the gyroscopic forces.

I inagine once the rocket ignites, whichever way it's pointing is the way you're going to go! Better hope your wheels stay under you where they belong.
