Four schools from west Auckland have set the Guinness World Record for the largest human bike image.

"That was so awesome," students yelled after they found out their attempt at a Guinness World Record was successful.

It took 1799 students from Glen Eden Intermediate, Kaurilands, Konini and Oratia schools five minutes standing under the winter sun to accomplish the Guinness World Record for the largest human bike image.

The old record was set just 10 days ago by 1148 students at Kenilworth School in the United Kingdom.

SUPPLIED Drones captured the moment the students broke the record.

"It's an amazing achievement, the students and everyone should be very proud," Guinness adjudicator Pete Fairbairn said.

There were strict guidelines from Guinness that Fairbairn was determined to uphold before he could confirm the record.

TORIKA TOKALAU/FAIRFAX NZ West Auckland students surround Guinness adjudicator Pete Fairbairn after he confirmed they had set the record for the world's largest human bike image.

Participating students had to be wearing the same uniform. They were counted using a methodical, strict, process and once assembled form a clear image of a bike.

Drone cameras were sent up in the air to capture the image.

"I saw the drone footage and I was comfortable that they made a shape of the bicycle, but they needed to beat a record 1148 people and they accomplished that," Fairburn said.

TORIKA TOKALAU/FAIRFAX NZ Vinnie Flaws, sitting, busted his knee cap a week ago but that wasn't going to keep him away from the historic event.

It took an hour to assemble the students to form the image but the effort was worth it, especially for year 6 Kaurilands School student Vinnie Flaws.

He was in wheelchair after he smashed his right knee cap a week ago playing rugby.

"It's a world record, who would want to miss that. I didn't care I was in a wheelchair, I had to be a part of this."

SUPPLIED 1799 students crammed onto the tennis courts to break the record.

Catherine and Ron Partridge of New Lynn supported their granddaughter Mia Patridge of Glen Eden Intermediate, and were thrilled to have witnessed the record.

"It's absolutely fantastic to be here to see our granddaughter be a part of this milestone," the proud grandmother said.

Fairbairn confirmed that to his knowledge, there were no preparations around the world to attempt the human bike image so west Auckland's record should stand for a while.
