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.
