A Really Speedy Cyclist!

So this guy decided that he was going to ride a 15 speed mountain bike from Flagstaff to Phoenix. He got as far as Black Canyon City before the mountains did him in and he could go no farther.

He stuck his thumb out but after an hour, hadn't gotten a single person to stop. Finally a lady in a Corvette pulled over and offered
him a ride. Of course, the bike wouldn't fit in the car.

The lady owner of the Corvette happened to have a coil of rope in the
car and tied one end to her bumper, the other to the bike and told the
our optomistic cyclist that if she got to going to fast, to honk the horn on his bike and that she would slow down.

Everything went fine for the first 45 miles. Suddenly, another 'Vette blew past them. Not to be outdone, 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 not one, but 2 Corvettes headed his way at over 120 mph. He then relayed, "And Louie, you're not gonna to believe this, but there's guy on a bike honking to pass".
