February 4th, 2010 | No Comments | | Posted in Funny & Amazing


One of my friends living in  Saudi Arabia has send me this picture he took using his mobile phone camera while traveling through the Tahlia Street street of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.  He didn’t no what this bicycle is all about. What he told me is “Must be bicycle used and left behind by the religious prophet Adam”.  That was funny. A google search revealed some interesting information about this.

The Bicycle is a larger-than-life sculpture of a bicycle and is perhaps the most famous landmark in Jeddah.  It sits in the center of a busy intersection in a popular shopping district.   At night, it is lit by flood lights, the color of which is changed frequently.   The Bicycle was made from scrap metals, stands 15 meters high, and was the work of Spanish artist Julio Lafuente.  Notice the “golden arches” nearby.  My husband thinks that The Bicycle is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest bicycle in the world.
