Man builds crazy bike 'just for fun'

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.
