Has entered the Guinness Book of World Records under the accomplishment, "Most Bicycle Handles Consumed In One Sitting". The tale of how this record came to be broken is indeed an intriguing one.
[spoiler] It was late at night on February 2nd, 1994, in a quiet little inn somewhere in Bulgaria. Our brave hero, perhaps after one shot of imported Schnappes too many, managed to find his way into the room of a 55-year-old insurance salesman from Denmark. The Danish salesman convinced our hero that he was in no condition to drive, despite our hero telling the salesman he was not planning on driving anytime soon. Ignoring him, his Danish friend brought him into a room about two doors down from his own; upon entering, our hero was greeted by a number of cheery-looking men, also insurence salesmen. Our hero noticed a large wooden crate in the corner. He asked what it was for, but his Danish aqquaintance said it was a secret. The large salesman gave a wry smile and announced that it was time to have some fun. The next few hours in that room became a buzzing sensation of singing, dancing and enjoyment of the finest local ale. At the zenith of the night's arc of enjoyment, one of the inebriated salesmen staggered over to the corner and pried the lid open: inside the crate were bicycle handles. Nothing but bicycle handles, all taken from worn-out bicycles. The large Danish salesman, who at this point appeared to be the group's de-facto leader, told our hero that, if he was to be accepted in the group, he must eat the entire crateful. Our hero, feeling brave and a little woozy, proudly agreed to the task set out before him. He was found a couple of days later, his pockets empty, sleeping soundly in his bed at the inn. The little Bulgarian village where he stayed has since worshipped him as a hero.[/spoiler]
