A Chinese man made a bicycle with the front wheel more than five feet high "just for fun".
Zhang Lianjun, of Tangshan, Hebei Province, spent about £1,800 creating the unusual bike.
It also features a huge lamp, a loud horn and four tiny rear wheels.
The original plan was to use a seven feet high tractor wheel but it was to too high and heavy to ride.
So he decided instead to build it with a slightly smaller front wheel which he got from a shovel loader.
"Although the tyres vary greatly in size, it's actually very safe and comfortable to ride," claimed Zhang. Source
I think Jackie Chan will have legs the size of an elephant after he peddles that thing round china for a few weeks. If it's so safe and stable then why does Confucius have to stand there and help hold you up Zhang?
