The artwork is located on the clifftops overlooking the iconic Tynemouth seafront, close to Tynemouth Rowing Club.
It features a larger-than-life park bench with local scenes, and a 1.8 metre vintage bicycle propped up alongside it.
The sculpture is a striking new tourist attraction for the town, celebrating the point where six long-distance cycle paths meet on the National Cycle Network.
The routes attract thousands of visitors every year, from the UK and overseas.
We worked with Destination North East England, North East Combined Authority, North Tyneside Council, NewcastleGateshead Initiative and Visit Northumberland to develop the sculpture with Ray.
It was funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
A new landmark for the North East
The artist is famous for his public artworks of large-scale steel sculptures such as Herring Girl in North Shields and ‘Big Fella’ in Silloth.
Ray said: “As a cyclist myself, I am delighted to be selected to create a sculpture marking the end of the coast to coast routes. I wanted to try to make something that attracts interest and photo opportunities, and that relays a little of the history of the area.”
