A James Bond bike with flame-thrower and ejector seat is set to be unveiled in London. The bike, to be displayed at next week’s cycle show at Earls Court in London, also boasts a caterpillar track for smooth riding over potholed roads.
Named the BOND (Built of Notorious Deterrents) Bike, the cycle is the creation of insurer ilovemybike.co.uk, which was inspired to build it after asking 800 cyclists to state their least favourite aspect of life on two wheels.
The flame-thrower was included as 52 per cent of cyclists named “cars and lorries passing too close” as their number one complaint. So the bike’s handlebars are fitted with a specially-designed flame-thrower.

Lying creates desire to wash mouth frequently
Washington: Apparently your mom was right when she threatened to wash your mouth with soap if you lied. According to a study, lying creates a desire to clean the “dirty” body part.
“The references to ‘dirty hands’ or ‘dirty mouths’ in everyday language suggest that people think about abstract issues of moral purity in terms of more concrete experiences with physical purity,” said Spike W.S. Lee, University of Michigan doctoral candidate in psychology. He conducted the study with his colleague Norbert Schwarz, reports the journal Psychological Science. —IANS
