IT is probably the most topical of pictures to emblazon across a map of the New Forest.
Using a route mapping app, cyclist David Taylor has drawn a huge bike by tracking roads around the Forest.
The bicycle-shaped route was created using the Strava app and website that uses Google Maps technology to plot routes.
According to Mr Taylor, 60, from Landford near Salisbury, the work of art has been made up in stages and has taken about three years.
He has also created a 141-mile (227.9km) pony, also using roads around the New Forest.
The use of the New Forest by cyclists has caused much controversy in recent years with the sabotaging of large cycling events and recent clashes over how best to use government money to encourage the use of cycle routes.
