A bicycle secured with 1,000 rockets behind it has gone for a ride in Licolnshire, lighting up the sky in a spectacular display of fireworks, the latest achievement by British inventor Colin Furze. 

Video shows Mr Furze riding – and about to blast off – on his custom-built rocket laden bicycle near his Lincolnshire home.

The 37-year-old inventor is a well-known creator of crazy inventions, a lot of which include explosions.

Waiting for the sun to set, Mr Furze sets off batches of the fireworks by pushing a button on the bicycle’s handlebars. He essentially turns into a moving parade of firework.

He said: ‘When I was sitting on the bike, I was only one foot away from the first box of rockets, so I was quite nervous.

‘I’m not usually too worried about trying out my inventions but I knew with this one that once I pressed the button I couldn’t reverse it.’

Mr Curze, a former plumber, was not harmed.

Internet inventor Colin Furze has made a bicycle which can fire an incredible 1,000 ROCKETS - all at the same time. The 37-year-old former plumber spent two days building the bike, which allows him to launch the rocket fireworks by pushing a button on the handle bars. Colin came up with the idea to celebrate getting five million followers on his YouTube site and tested it out on private land near his home in Lincolnshire.
