A UK council has built a new underpass that boosts safety by allowing cyclists to avoid having to cross a busy road. However, health and safety concerns within the council have resulted in signs also being posted requesting cyclists to dismount due to low headroom. This is in spite of the fact that of the world's entire 6 billion human population only one man, 2.46m high Sultan Kosen from Turkey is actually tall enough for the route to pose a hazard. It is not known if Mr Kosen is keen to visit the underpass to see whether the underpass does pose a hazard to him, or indeed if he actually has found a bicycle large enough for him to ride.
