A pair of friends from France spent about five years making their dream a reality by building the world’s tallest rideable bicycle, which measures 25 feet, 5 inches high. Nicolas Barrioz and David Peyrou came up with the idea while at a pub, and they quickly began creating designs and finding materials. The bike took about two years to build, with Barrioz expressing the difficulties they faced during the process.
Speaking to Guinness World Records, Barrioz mentioned the hard work and determination that went into building the bike. After completion, the giant bicycle was officially certified as the tallest in the world, surpassing the previous record by 1 foot, 2 inches. Barrioz shared that this project has changed his perspective on the world and himself, boosting his self-confidence and making him feel unstoppable. He believes he can now repair, build, or design anything. This experience has had a profound impact on his life.
