A Chinese mechanic quit his job to create a larger-than-life bike for his cartoon-obsessed son.
Zhang Yali, 49, from Jilin City, started the bike three months ago as a surprise gift for his son Zhang Wenzhong.
He said he son was a cartoon fanatic who majored in animation at university, and works as an animation artist in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
"My son is thousands of kilometres from home. My wife and I miss him a lot so I created this bike to inspire him," he said.
"Animation is the art of exaggeration. So I thought that this giant bike would be the perfect gift for him."
Zhanag extimates that it cost him about £2,000 to create the one tonne bike which stands more than 10ft high and 18ft long.
