I guess this would work for someone with a REALLY long inseam.

So I thought what is the smallest? It really needs bringing together on one post! Maybe the fastest, heaviest, longest, lightest, most expensive etc next?

Pretty cool video. I think the "extreme" bikes listing (big, small, etc.) is a great idea. Thanks, John

Worlds longest bike, no more winging where can I put my extra water bottle lol! They should now turn this into the longest tandem. What is a 10 x people tandem? A ten-dem?

14.5 feet to the seat. This bike is actually rideable. Some Huffy frames welded together.
This video is so cool. The ultra wide view is scary, and the rider is kind of crazy to try this. Is he climbing a scaffold, no, it's the bike! Low headroom at the underpass. Looking down into second floor windows. Out to the end of the pier--now what!

AWAC: I was surprised that the bike was only pedaled from the rear? I would think they could have easily made it a tandem but the timing chain would be REALLY long for a 117.5' bike.
em -rf: I got a huge kick out of that bike, especially as he went "Oh *****" when approaching that first bridge. I wonder if he had thought about bridge clearances. I personally would not ride the bike because I think you could get SERIOUSLY injured if you fell which to me would be highly probable, at least much much more than a regular bike. Absolutely cool video.

World’s most expensive bicycle.

Ok, I was thinking about this. How much did he spend on the security lock? In fact, how many locks? Would you be paranoid leaving it outside and nipping into your local shop?

John N: I wouldn't be so worried about falling, but not having the ability to stop terrifies me. If those cars in the video did not stop, he could only try to ride in circles. But encounter a red traffic light or an open bridge and you're done for. Perhaps some lever operated kickstand would be a good addition, ideally a wide one so it's stable enough to climb down

Not a bike but the closest car to a bike!

How high do you have to be for a parachute to open before you hit the ground?
The one of the longest bike almost looks like a section of AM transmitter radio tower.
