Jet bike spotted in Harlem


I was checking out pictures of the Harlem Classic race online and saw a picture of Tyler Hamilton with what looked like some sort of JATO rocket attached to the back. Was this some sort of Wile E. Coyote / Michael Ball invention? Kind of like the wheels he was going to make himself? No, it was not. If you look closely at other pictures you will notice that it's merely a novel water bottle holder:
Which is cool. Anyone know who makes that? The other interesting thing to note is that Hamilton is riding a Fuji while all his teammates are riding De Rosa's (the official sponsor):

I'm sure it's a triathlon product. Those crazy triathletes always have creative ways to achieve hydration:
