Indonesian Villagers Build Longest Bicycle At 44ft

A 44ft bicycle was 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 stabilizers. The bicycle was operated by two people, one steering at the front and one pedalling at the back.
