I Can’t Believe What I’m Seeing

Kevin was a very inventive guy and he was always trying out new things. One day he wanted to see just how fast a bicycle could go before it went out of control.

He pedaled as fast as he could and got the bike up to thirty miles-per-hour. He was sure it could go twice as fast. So he asked his friend, Eric, who owned an old Mustang, if he could tie his bike to the bumper of his car to test his theory. His friend agreed.

So Kevin tied his bike to the back of the car and instructed Eric, “I’ll ring my bell once if I want you to go faster, twice if I want you to maintain speed, and repeatedly if I want you to slow down.” With that, off they went. Things were going pretty well with Eric slowly increasing his speed until he was doing well over sixty miles per hour. Kevin and his bike was handling the speed just fine.

Suddenly, a black Corvette pulled up beside them revving its engine. Eric forgot all about Kevin tied to the back of the Mustang and started racing the Corvette. Down the road sat Deputy Todd in his police cruiser. He heard the cars coming long before radar flashed one hundred and five miles-per-hour.

He called headquarters and said, “You guys aren’t going to believe this, but there’s a Corvette and a Mustang racing out here on Highway 3, and right behind them there’s a guy on a bike ringing his bell and waving his arms like crazy trying to pass them!”
