World's Tallest Bicycle.

World's Tallest Bicycle was made by Terry Goertzen, a pastor of the Jubilee Mennonite Church in Winnipeg. The bike was 18 ft. 5 in. (5.55 m) tall!

The origins of the feat were innocent enough. Terry’s wife SuAnn had given him a welding set for Christmas and soon he was building bikes, including a multi-layered one. On a whim, he checked the world’s record for tallest bicycle. When he realized he was already close to the 4.3 metre record, he decided to beat it. The local media enjoyed the event, headlining it with language about prayer or getting “closer to God.” A crowd of some 200 also had fun at it, cheering Terry on and buying the hot dogs and drinks sold by the church to raise funds for bicycles for students in India.
