It also teaches to assess the traffic on the road and take decision to move or stop, so it can also be considered as the basis of car and bike.

Know how heavy is the bicycle
As a comparison, tell that common hatchback cars range from 700 to 1000 kg. But this cycle weighs 2177 kg. You would think that if it is so heavy, then how can it be operated with the pedals. Sebastian Beutler, who lives in Saxony-Anhalt State of Germany, has made this bicycle. In this, he has fitted the gear box of the truck so that the gear system of the classic cycle can be copied. The cycle has 35 forward gears while 7 reverse gears. The unique thing is that only one person can run it by pedaling, as well as 15 tons of weight can be lifted simultaneously.
Cycle made in 3 years
It took 3 years to build the bicycle and Sebastian estimated that it took him a total of 2500 hours to build it. His family was trying to stop him but he did not give up and breathed after making it. It is believed that in no time the Guinness World Record will also give it the status of being the heaviest bicycle in the world.
