Intrepid Pole cycles to top of the Shanghai World Financial Center

Imagine having to climb 100 floors of stairs in one of China's tallest buildings; a grueling task for sure. But world renowned cyclist Krystian Herba made the challenge even tougher by riding his bicycle up the 2,754 steps of the Shanghai World Financial Center on Sunday in a bid for a new world record.

In 1 hour, 21 minutes and 53 seconds, the Polish cyclist rode his seat-less bicycle to the building's 474-meter high observatory, a new record which will be recognized by the Guinness Book of Records for the most steps climbed on a bicycle.
