Video: Madcap genius Colin Furze builds tall bike for social distancing
You can trust our favourite YouTube inventor, Colin Furze to think outside the box, even in these times of social distancing.
While we at road.cc, and some rather more clever people at universities in Belgium and the Netherlands have been grappling with how much space you should give between yourself and the rider in front, the madcap genius has found another solution - by going upwards.
We love it.
You can find other bike-related shenanigans from Furze that we have featured on road.cc, including his hover bike and that time he fired 1,000 rockets from a bicycle, here.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races.

I had to go and look that up and can only agree with you. Quite a handsome Coat of Arms as well.
That G turn from 2km to 1km was something to boggle at, wasn't it. Cav was magnificent, the others especially Milan surprisingly faded. Lovely...
Think you've got hold of the wrong end of the stick there, testosterone is reduced by taking testosterone blockers, not by 'taking oestrogen'....
I concur GP4000 is the hardest I've ever had to mount on a rim, Ultegra wheelset in my case. Shifted the outer skin on my thumbs!...
Another one who deliberately misuses the term. Looking for trouble. Yeah because in London you have to stake out a road all day to find one offence.
Ticks a box, doesn't it?...
Normally I don't have a small enough violin for them but in this case I guess it's possible that their office / secretary / intern submitted this...
