Hendrix Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 yeah, but we pedal fast for like a few seconds and then stop, whereas he would've been pedalling (less) fast and not stoppedi would've loled if he said FLAME ON! when he realised(in polish) *sniff, sniff* something's burning... *looks at crotch first for some reason* cool!

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 ahemLol at (with?) Dr. Nick... no change there then! He's 55 years old though... my bet is that someone threw a lit cigarette at him as he rode past and the lycra set light... Pretty certain it would be completely impossible to set alight to yourself by cycling. Maybe that's one for brainiacs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 The friction from riding an XC bike to work wore holes in my trousers There's a difference between friction creating enough heat to cause a material to combust and just 'wearing' a hole in clothes. There weren't scorch marks round the holes were there?!Rub your hands together fast and that gets bloody hot. Is it really impossible to imagine?Yeah, but I've never seen Fatty Mears start a fire using only chinese burns and kindling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yeah, but I've never seen Fatty Mears start a fire using only chinese burns and kindling... Brilliant . I think Mythbusters proved that even being dragged along at something like 30+ mph wasn't enough to set trousers on fire. Although if he was wearing trousers covered in some highly combustible material that might do the job, he may well have just been swimming in some fuel with his clothes on.

spode@thinkbikes Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 So who's at fault? The liar? Or the gullible Journalist?I reckon he had a mobile phone in his pocket and he was using a cheap battery that blew up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
