TRADING A CAR FOR A BIKE? THAT’S ODD

-

THAT’S LIKELY TO BE A TRUE GUINNESS

RECORD: HAVING SOLD A CAR TO ASSEMBLE A BICYCLE, AND SOMEBODY ELSE’S, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! BUT U.S. RICHIE TRIMNLE DIDN’T THINK TWICE ABOUT IT. THE MAN THAT PRESENTLY BRAGS WITH HAVING PEDALED THE WORLD’S TALLEST BICYCLE (6.13 M), SOLD HIS CAR AND USED THE MONEY TO BUY PARTS AND A

PLANE TICKET. Fpedals, rom the United States to Cuba. His luggage was made up of chains, saddles,

lights set, bells, helmets, handles, sportswear. He carried everything a man needs to break his record on this side of the Florida Straits: Felix Ramon Guirola, a mechanic without college studies, but a great inventor. On Thursday April 7, the sun went up while they were giving the last welding touches to the “metallic giraffe” and, around 9 a.m., they were in front of Havana’s Capitol. Neverthele­ss, there was a technical problem with the bicycle and they couldn’t

make it.
