MAKE: Blog: The Worlds Longest Bike & DIY Train

The Worlds Longest Bike & DIY Train

Rere6
One of my new favorite sites, EnglishRussia, has a couple great "Made on Earth" transports, a DIY train made from a car and the worlds longest bike!-

"It's creator Oleg "Leshij" Rogov was from Tver city, a small town near Moscow city. He was a big biker fan since his childhood. One day he has got an idea to build the longest bike in the world, according to his own story "probably after he got too much beer inside".

So after two years of planning and delaying he did it. He built the bike that was 31 feet 4 inches long (9 metres 57 cm). After the thing was ready he sent his claim to the Guiness book and got registered as longest bike in the world." - Link.

Didn't they just build this for "Patent Bending"? The orange paint job is because they built it as a school-bus/bike.
