Weird Bike Wednesday - World's Longest Bicycle

The world's longest bicycle
This week's weird bike was the longest bike in the world when it was constructed in 2014, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.. This 117 foot long monstrosity was created by the Dutch cycling group Mijl Van Meres Werkploeg. Most of the bike is aluminum trusses, which connect the front wheel to the rear wheel.The rider at the back does all the pedaling. The rider in front has no pedals, and only steers. According to Frank Pelt, the group leader, the bike is easy to ride as long as you don't try to turn any corners.

Holding a Guinness World Record is often a fleeting thing. In 2015, a group in Australia created a bicycle that was 5 inches longer. Here is a video of the Dutch long bike in action:
