One Man's Quest to Build the Tallest Rideable Bicycle in the World


By stacking and welding the frames of Chinese Flying Pigeon bicycles atop of each other, Félix Ramón Guirola Cepero has built the tallest rideable bicycle on Cuba, measuring 19 feet, 8 inches (6 meters). Cepero's current goal is to set a new world record by building a bike that will place him 32 feet, 9.7 inches (10 meters) up in the air, and breaking Los Angeles-based cinematographer Richie Trimble's current record, whose bike Stoopidtaller is the tallest bike in the world with a measurement of 20 feet, 2.5 inches (6.15 meters).
