This topic has always fascinated me because of the experience and I simply don't buy the argument/theory that it is impossible to hydroplane on a bike, regardless of what any scientist might tell me.. I will also contend that the cited NASA study actually does NOT prove it impossible and therefore I am NOT dissing the scientists and am NOT denying the science.
