Vintage rocket-powered bikes. It seems a sprung leather saddle is an essential requirement :P

Is that a helmet (of sorts)? I have seen the occasional statement to the effect that a helmet has no efficacy. Someone should tell the fool.

With this one you wouldn't ever need a rear light or reflectors.

Is that a mudguard? I thought it was an aileron. :)
