Is that even remotely possible? Especially at those speeds and incline. What a tank, albeit a morbidly obese tank.
In a post-mortem discussion, we concluded that the bike had a lead frame, and the dude on it was very fat wearing armour (like from knights). But that makes it pretty hard to pedal at like 15m/s... Any ideas?
-
if they changed it to a motorbike with a small engine capacity it might work, and 15m/s is about 54km/h so, cyclist no, motorcyclist probably.

But even that isn't 300kg! That is fricken HEAVY!

So the dude probably looked like this:

Or maybe even worse?
-
fair point, considering the top motor racing class of bikes, weighs about 165kg plus say 60-70kg for the rider so total mass of say 230kg. so ok they are pushing it.
If we add a sidecar and another rider we might get there, but can you imagine a racing bike with a side car going over 54km/h? just a thought.

It might be impossible, even if the above guy was riding this stone bicycle:

Still not 300kg, thats only around 250kg total

At a 48 degree incline? Impressive to say the least.

True, I can't even see how that guy fit into his clothes (or maybe, I don't want to see how he did it :P ). Even less likely with the stone bicycle...

what about the ventureone, partly both a car and bike but still, weighs 1200pounds which is 544kg and can reach speeds of up to 160km/h and well leans into the corner. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-439163/Is-car-motorbike-Actually-both.html
technically it is a (motor)bike

^^Nice, maybe by 'bike' they meant 'carish-motorbike' ???
lol, imaging a really fat dude on a bike is still lolz though
-
ok then imagine him trying to get into that thing, let alone out of it.

;D Not possible
-
if we start with him in the seat and build the thing around him we might have a chance, but then thats still not getting in and out I suppose.

Lol 300kg is still possible for a motorbike, especially for a heavy beast like the hayabusa.

How do we get him up to 54km/h? Rockets?
-
could always do what they did to john strapp, attach him to a rocket sled and nearly detach his retinas. ended up surviving something like a 45g decceleration

or he could always end up looking like jeremy clarkson in the aerial atom
