Well, the sound and the general layout of the propulsion system remind me of the ultralight that I used to fly in the 1980s. Mine is still in the garage, but here's one one a museum: http://www.aeromuseum.org/aircraft_american.html
So now I'm trying to figure out how many leaf blowers it will take to get airborne. Tim, I seem to recall from your web site that you tinker with model aircraft. Maybe I'm getting conservative in my old age, but a small unmanned version would seem a prudent first step. If a leaf-blower jet bicycle is not enough to annoy all of the neighbors, a flying model that buzzes over the rooftops is sure to do the trick. What do you think?
