Nik Wallenda, the seventh generation of the legendary Great Wallendas, set a Guinness world record October 15, 2008 for the longest distance and greatest height ever traveled by bicycle on a high wire.

He returned on a bicycle for the Guinness World Record. And now he’s set the record as the first person to ever cross the Niagara Falls.
