Who built the record-breaking longest bicycle??

When was the same record made first??
According to the reference book, this record has been beaten several times during the last 60 years. It was set in 1965 by an 8-meter (26-foot-three-inch) bicycle constructed in Cologne, Germany.
Past record holders have come from a variety of countries, including New Zealand, Italy, Belgium, Australia, and two Dutch teams.
How long did it take to make the longest bicycle??
Ivan, who has previously built carnival floats, started this project in 2018 to fill his leisure time.
When he needed help building the massive bicycle, he went to the local carnival in his hometown of Prinsenbeek to find team members.
"Prinsenbeek is known for its volunteers and high technical employability," Ivan informed me.?

"We have the technical knowledge and want to apply this knowledge to the maximum."??
