World's longest bicycle built in Indonesia
13 April DailyMail
You might not want to try to pop a wheelie while riding this
incredible contraption, a 44ft bicycle that 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.That is held by Mijl van Maers
Werkploeg, who built one measuring a whopping 117ft 5in long on August
5, 2011 in Maarheeze in the Netherlands.
To qualify as the longest true bicycle, the Dutchman's creation could
have only two wheels and no stabilisers.
The bicycle was operated by two people, one steering at the front and
one pedalling at the back.
