Almost 1,000 cyclists from 20 countries broke the Guinness World Record for the longest single line of bicycles in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo on Sunday.

With the support of the International Cycling Federation, the tour was held as a part of a project to promote cycling, called the Sarajevo Grand Prix.

The event was also held to raise public awareness about cyclists' rights in traffic.

The original Guinness record was set in Oct. 2010. in Davis, California, U.S., with 916 cyclists.
