'The Bicycle'

This image was shot from the SUV; I couldn’t get close to it because the circle it’s located in is under construction. The small picture on the fence shows what the finished roundabout will look like. The bike’s spare wheel had been moved some distance away from the sculpture.

“Among the best-known sculptures is the Bicycle. At an astonishing 15-meters high, it also has the distinction of being the world’s largest bike. Fashioned of rusty scrap metals by Spanish artist Julio Lafuente, the Bicycle occupies one of Jeddah’s busiest intersections and is accompanied by a spare wheel.” http://selamtamagazine.com/stories/amazing-sculptures-jeddah
