saw this at the big chill last year - watching him get on/off it was most entertaining 😆

edit, by the way that is eastnor castle grounds, home to many more slightly different bikes to that on a different weekend each year!

the one in brighton is chained up outside a house

I've only seen him riding it once - stopped at traffic lights and using a metal pedestrian barrier thing to lean on

I saw two guys on tall bikes riding up the Bealach Na Ba a few years back.
