A 44ft bicycle has been created by
Indonesian villagers out of rusting iron pipe. It seats just one person and was
hand crafted out of 84 feet of piping in Blawe village, Kediri, in East Java.
The bicycle has been officially
recorded by the Indonesian Record Museum after it beat the previous holder by
eight feet.
But despite breaking the Indonesian
title, this effort has a long way to go before it beats the world record.
The longest true bicycle, that is
one with only two wheels and no stabilizers, was 35.79 m (117 ft 5 in) long and
was built by members of the Mijl Van Mares Werkploeg (Netherlands) in
Maarheeze, Netherlands, on 5 August 2011. The bicycle was operated by two
people, one steering at the front and one pedalling at the back.
