haha, what classic pics. I suspect getting airborne is basically what would happen if enough thrust was applied going up hill.

These guys have got balls to strap a rocket to their bike and hope for the best with a leather helmet and some goggles.

I saw a different type of vintage cycling yesterday. A man cycling east along Ward Street in North Adelaide, then turned left / north into Margaret Street. Only had time to notice his tweed jacket and the front mudguard with attached mud-flap. Had forgotten about mud-flaps until I saw this. With the tweed jacket, wondered about Smudge who organises AC tweed rides.

Qantas offers free newspapers on its city flyer flights...this guy also doesn't want to miss out on keeping up with the latest news during his flight.
