Man hits 207mph on rocket-propelled bike

A 32-year-old Frenchman has set a new speed record after reaching a 207mph (333kph) on a bike.

Francois Gissy attached a small rocket to his bicycle, pedalled to the start line, and then fired it up.

He says he has created the ultimate pushbike, reaching his top speed in 4.8 seconds.
