We've seen a number of GPS artworks over the years but cyclist David Taylor surely takes the crown with his massive depiction of a bicycle, drawn on a day long 212 mile cycle ride through the New Forest and surrounding areas last month.
David plotted a route and logged his efforts using a GPS. He has posted the end result to Strava.com.
Some key data from the 13 hour long ride include an average speed of 16mph, 7,000 feet of climb and nearly 7,000 calories consumed.

Is this for real? If you click the source link the two pictures credited to David Taylor are different |

It could just be where it is zoomed out in Strava it uses a simpler route (i.e. looses some of the twists and turns to make simpler shape) - or at least that is what it looks like when I zoom in/out on Strava _________________ J. |
