Cuban man's super-tall bike draws spectators

Tall bike
n this May 18, 2012 file photo, Felix Guirola climbs up his self-made 3.45 meters (11 feet) tall bicycle as people help steady it as he prepares to take it for a ride in Havana, Cuba. Guirola has been riding tall since 1983, when seeing a tandem bike inspired him to build up instead of out. He said his first tall bike measured 5.3 feet (1.6 meters), and they got progressively taller until five years later he was riding 18 feet (5.5 meters) in the air at Ciego de Avila carnivals.

Felix Guirola of Havana, Cuba, rides 13 feet above the ground atop his homemade super-tall bike, peering over pickup trucks and even buses and without a helmet or other protective gear to break a fall.
