Strava logo 2016.pngStrava art: Cyclist draws giant dog on Catford in 150km South London ride
A cyclist has used Strava to sketch out a giant dog during a 152km bike ride in South London.
Marc O’Shea’s ride, which he carried out yesterday, involved more than eight hours in the saddle.
It spanned an area from Brixton in the west to Bexley in the east, and New Cross Gate in the north to Keston in the south.
He didn’t stick to quiet roads, either, with the route including the South Circular, the A2 and the A20.
One of the commenters on Strava has suggested an even bigger challenge – sketching out the person walking the canine.
Here’s his creation.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
"He may be obsessed with braking power and fast cornering in the wet at his day job"...
Just got another one. Now that drivers realise that if I'm on a flatish road in a 20mph speed limit I might actually be doing more than 20mph...
I'm guessing according to Mr Chapps the driver wasn't displaying number plates, wasn't insured.......
A moving tribute Matt. A lovely bloke and a one-off human being. Once met, never forgotten.
It's the Max Cady types you've got to keep an eye out for. They never ever forgive. Or forget.
Good use by witness of the word "kerfuffle", though placed alongside "carnage" and two men with axes, I don't know if it is an entirely appropriate...
That level of policy detail is not required at this stage and for current purposes.
While North Wales are the exact opposite, they love their A Frames.
But Campag is at its most beautiful when it is fully shiny.
Does anyone know when the patents expire on the old top of the line 9 speed Campy and Shimano groupsets? Asking for a friend!...
