Built by artist Wouter van den Bosch from Arnhem in The Netherlands, the "Monsterbike" has been recognised in the Guinness World Records 2013 Edition book as the world's heaviest rideable bicycle.
Made from steel tubes, bicycle parts, four small tyres at the back and one mammoth Michelin tractor tyre, it weighs an incredible 750 kg (1,650 lb)and measures 1.95 m (6 ft 4.7 in) high, at the front.
When taking his bike for a spin, Wouter finds that most people stop, stare and smile - however, a few fellow cyclists get annoyed as the bike tends to block cycle lanes.
Wouter constructed the bike for his fine art degree - but he is not sure whether or not it is art.
When asked about the bike's creation, Wouter says the incredible two-wheeler became a reality mainly to prove a doubting teacher wrong.
"While building the bike a teacher of mine told me it was never going to be rideable.
"I thought much the same after I broke a driveshaft when I took it out for the first time on the road, but it really motivated me to try harder and make it work".
Wouter's record and many, many more feature in the new Guinness World Records 2013 edition - is out now worldwide from all good retailers. Find out more about the book and its incredible augmented reality feature, and where you can buy a copy of Guinness World Records 2013 here:
