Video: Madcap genius Colin Furze builds tall bike for social distancing
You can trust our favourite YouTube inventor, Colin Furze to think outside the box, even in these times of social distancing.
While we at road.cc, and some rather more clever people at universities in Belgium and the Netherlands have been grappling with how much space you should give between yourself and the rider in front, the madcap genius has found another solution - by going upwards.
We love it.
You can find other bike-related shenanigans from Furze that we have featured on road.cc, including his hover bike and that time he fired 1,000 rockets from a bicycle, here.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

There's no getting away from the fact that he won 7 Tours from 1999-2005, using the same resources as everyone else. In hindsight, I suspect he may...
You really have to feel for the guy. He seems to have a lot of talent and determination! Never know, this might open up a slot for him at Le Tour!
Didn't see that one, I'll have to have a look! I realise now that my irresponsible non-stopping is the most important feature of the video…
And there would be ample room for a contra-flow cycle lane if they simply stopped cars parking/waiting outside the primary school. There's only...
I think that deserves a rimshot.
Probably depends what level you were looking at. The SLR compares well with most other major brands' top spec disc brake climbing bikes apart from...
