World’s Fastest Bike    [12-06-2009] Do you like riding a bike? Bike-riding is good for your health. It can also protect our beautiful environment. But bikes have a weak point. They can’t run very fast! So we can’t really travel long distances riding a bike. But recently, an American man named Bob Maddox invented a very fast bicycle. He added a twin-engine to his old bike to make this amazing bike. So, how fast can it run? To our surprise, Bob hit 113 km/h on June 1! “It accelerates very quickly,” he said. “It hits top speed in about 7 seconds. But even at high speed, it feels very stable.” The only problem is its loud noise. He has to wear earplugs to protect his ears. Now, Maddox is working on his next project. He is planning to make a faster bike! I can’t wait to see it!     출처: 어린이 영자신문 키즈타임즈 (www.kidstimes.net)
