Cyclist Gunning For New World Record On Giant Bike

A CYCLING obsessive in India is hoping to set a new world record by cycling 1,000 miles - on his supersized bike. Rajiv Kumar, from Chandigarh, designed a bicycle that is 8 feet 6 inches high, but can be extended to 10 feet 2 inches. In 1999, he manufactured another bicycle that was nearly 13 feet high - but was barred from riding it on city roads by police in his hometown. The two-wheeled wonder is already in India’s Limca Book of Records after using a modified bike measuring 7 feet 6 inches to complete a 16 hour ride from Chandigarh to New Delhi in 2001. Johny now has his sights set on an elusive Guinness World Record for the 1,000 mile (1650km) ride from Chandigarh to Mumbai, which will push the cycle-crazy enthusiast to his limits.
