The perfect accessory for your Hummer.
Like the H2, the HUMMER Mountain Bike takes its origins from the U.S. Military. Its patented folding system was developed to allow Paratroopers an easy exit from military aircraft with a full size mountain bike.

For 699 to a couple of grand, it should at least have machine gun mounts.. When I was a kid, my bike did... along with a motor powered by clothespins and playing cards..

I would think you'd have an easier exit from the aircraft if you weren't riding the bike when you jumped....
