Bangladeshi cyclists break world record for longest moving line of bikesA staggering 1,186 cyclists have set the Guinness World Record for the longest line of moving bicycles.

They were recorded travelling together in a single file line down a highway in Bangladesh.

The large-scale event was organised by BDCyclists.

This is a non-profit social community that aims to promote healthy living as well as reduce congestion and pollution in the area by encouraging locals to cycle to work.

The goal of staying healthy in this stressful life and ride for recreation, commute, health, and eco friendly practices–which is a community initiative, was the core of this record.

Participants were required to ride continuously for a minimum of 3.2 km, ensuring that no significant gaps opened up in the enormous chain.

Though 1200 started in the challenge, some were disqualified for breaking the cycle. But the number (1186) was enough to break the earlier record of 984 achieved in 2015.

This was during the Sarajevo Grand Prix at Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
