00:00 [music] At six foot eight, I was the world's tallest
00:07 professional cyclist, so I know very well how hard it is to get standard bikes and equipment

00:20 He's massive. I'm putting it through his paces.
00:27 [laughs] I'm on a mission to find out how we landed
00:38 on 700c standard. What we might find is that it was arrived

01:26 [laughs] Nuts.
