Hmmm... do they make fireproof lycra shorts?

FWIW: the now-defunct Vision bike company put one of these engines on one of their recumbents. Links to some short mpeg movies are at http://www.outsideconnection.com/gallant/hpv/vision/

Wasnt all this nonsense with JetEngine pacs clarified by MythBusters?
I am sure they are just itching to do this on a bicycle. ;)

Thanks Rick,
