A dutch cycling group is in for the long haul, literally.

Members of organization Mijl Van Mares Werkploeg secured themselves a place in the Guinness World Records 2016 when they broke the record for the longest bicycle in the world. But there's an even longer bike waiting to nab the record.

Mijl Van Mares Werkploeg's bike stretches to 117 feet, 5 inches, which is almost as long as half a New York City block (20 blocks equals a mile).

Both ends of the bike are linked with several aluminum trusses, which are used for concert lighting and are stable enough that the frame doesn't sag. It takes two people to really get this baby going — one in the front to steer and one in the back to pedal.

The bike has no training wheels or stabilizers, and the wheel in the back is wider to keep the bike standing up. Mijl Van Mares Werkploeg's group leader Frank Pelt told the Guinness World Records it's really easy to ride, but the only caveat is that it can't turn corners.

Mijl Van Mares Werkploeg set the record for longest bike in August 2011, a Guinness spokesperson told Mashable. But the record will probably be short-lived.

Earlier this year, Santos and University of South Australia built a bike, shown below, that measures at 135 feet 10.7 inches long; that's definitely more than half a block. There's a chance this new record will make it into the next year's edition of the Guinness World Records, but it all depends on the editorial team.

The bike has 20 seats, 19 sets of pedals and six interconnected bicycle chains running in parallel, according to the University of South Australia. The person steering is the only rider who doesn't have to pedal. After a bumpy start, the group was able to successfully ride the bike a distance of about 328 feet.
