Yorkshire cyclist creates giant bike on Strava

We know lots of you here on road.cc like a bit of Strava art – and one of our readers in Yorkshire has mailed us his creation, depicting a giant bicycle sketched out during a 47.8-mile ride around north Leeds and the surrounding countryside.

DaveyL, to give him his road.cc user name, took four hours to complete the ride in September, and got in touch with us after he saw our story yesterday about a giant snowman created on Strava by two students in Dublin.

He rides for Team Cystic Fibrosis, which raises £50,000 each year for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, including through this Just Giving page.

It’s not the first huge bicycle we’ve seen traced across UK roads on Strava, and it’s far from the biggest – remember David Taylor’s version carried out during a mammoth ride of almost 200 miles in the New Forest in October last year?

Across the Atlantic, meanwhile, GPS artist WallyGPX is as busy as ever in Baltimore – there’s a bit of a Star Wars theme going on this week on his Twitter feed.

Given the grid pattern of the city’s streets, there’s a certain angular quality to his work.
