French People Build World’s Tallest Bicycle (25 feet)

Two Frenchmen walk into a bar.... 

Many pints later, they leave with a plan to construct the world's tallest bicycle. And unlike the perhaps millions of unrealized plans borne by lads at the pub, these fellas made it happen. 

Behold, the 25-foot-tall bicycle-- almost impossible to ride, and mountable only by hydraulic lift. 

Nicolas Barrioz and David Peyrou are responsible for this monstrosity of engineering, their creation reaching a height of 7.77 meters (25' 5"), which breaks the previous record by 36 cm (1' 2").
