The bike James Bond would ride?
By BikeRadar
The BOND Bike has a sideways-firing flamethrower to discourage other vehicles from getting too close (Environmental Transport Association)
A concept bike worthy of super-spy James Bond is set to go on show at Cycle Show 2010 in London next week.
The BOND (Built of Notorious Deterrents) Bike features a handlebar-mounted flamethrower, an ejector seat and a rear caterpillar track.
It's been built up by Yannick Read of the Environmental Transport Association who displayed a gold plated bike at the 2008 show to promote their cycle insurance policies.
They say: "With the next James Bond film canned owing to a lack of cash, a new bicycle equipped with flamethrower and ejector seat could be the ideal way for a cash-strapped 007 to get to work.
"The flamethrower fitted in the handlebars prevents overtaking motorists getting too close. The ejector seat disposes of thieves who beat the padlock and chain. And the bike which would make Bonds gadget inventor, Q, proud also boasts a caterpillar track for smooth riding over potholed roads."
You can see the BOND Bike, which is based on a Specialized Rockhopper, in action in the video below:
Before building the bike, ETA asked 800 cyclists to name their least favourite aspect of life on two wheels. Top, with 52 percent of the vote, was cars and lorries passing too close. Twenty-five percent cited poor road conditions as a problem, while theft and cold weather hence the front ski blade were also mentioned.
if someone trys to fire that thing at my car, i'll make sure my gas pedal is stuck to the floor with him infront of my car.

I'm kind of a hippie, if I lived close enough I would ride my bike to work...
A spray can sized flame thrower versus a car, is like a hand gun versus a tank; anyone dumb enough to actually use it would be a casualty of natural selection shortly after.

The flame thrower is powerful enough to light a cigarette from 10 inches away. What a joke. A fucking Sybian is more powerful than that ejection seat. What a joke. It went up two feet in the air with nothing on it. What a joke.
James Bond doesn't roll on the floor laughing, but this thing might just do it.
I want to see a Harley version of this bike.

our city is run by tree hugging hippies. Do you think closing down an enitre car lane on some of the busiest downtown streets would have ever passed in any other city? The fact that dedicated bike lanes exist is a sign of bad things to come for our city

We can always hope he runs for NDP leadership. Have a man AND a party to laugh at.
