A man decided that he was going to ride a
10-speed bike from Phoenix to Flagstaff,
Arizona (about 140 miles). He got as
far as Black Canyon City
(about 40 miles) before the mountains just
became too much and he could
go no farther.
He stuck his thumb out, but after 3 hours
hadn't gotten a single person to stop.
Finally, a guy in a Corvette pulled
over and offered him a ride.
Of course, the bike wouldn't fit in the
car. The owner of the
Corvette found a piece of rope lying by the
highway and tied it to his
bumper. He tied the other end to the bike and
told the man that if he
was going too fast, to honk the horn on his
bike and that he would slow down.
Everything went fine for the first 30 miles.
Suddenly, another Corvette blew past them.
Not to be out done, the Corvette
pulling the bike took off after the other. A
short distance down the road,
the Corvettes, both going well over 120
MPH, blew through a speed trap.
The police officer noted the speeds from his
radar gun and radioed to
the other officer that he had two Corvettes
headed his way at over 120 MPH.
He then relayed, "...and you're not going to
believe this, but there's a guy on a 10 speed
bike honking to pass."
