'Football-Bike' wows Klagenfurt crowd

While Croatian fans in Klagenfurt created an open-air party, it was a German cyclist on a 'Football-Bike' who drew the attention of most of the astounded onlookers.

Croatian masses
More than 30,000 ecstatic Croatian fans catered for an unbelievable atmosphere in the Swiss city on Thursday evening with not only the Wörthersee Stadion but also the UEFA EURO 2008™ Fan Zone floating in a sea of red and white checked flags. However, it was just one of the 10,000 German supporters who stole the show. Didi Senft from Berlin, who is normally an honoured guest at the Tour de France, cycled through the streets on a unique 'Football-Bike', creating a real stir.

Special bike
"I've built more than 200 such bicycles – I put together this one here especially for UEFA EURO 2008™," explained Didi proudly as he displayed his creation – which consists of twelve footballs, a mini-football table and a drum – to the fans. Didi did not have much time for interviews, although he is a man in great demand. He instead preferred to pose with supporters and was delighted to be so acknowledged and take his place in countless Croatian photo albums. He could do little to help Germany stem the tide as they succumbed 2-1 to Croatia but he is expected to make the trip to Vienna for the final group game with his unique 'EURO-Bike' whilst Joachim Löw's side try to turn the wheel of their fortunes.
