HUGE CYCLE SCULPTURE TO BE PLACED AT CENTRE OF NEW JOCK'S LODGE JUNCTION

The multi-million pound scheme which will transform the A1079/A164 Jock’s Lodge intersection and dual the A164 to reduce
tailbacks will mean the current road bridge over the A1079 will be at the centre of the new road layout, but will be unused.
In the same way as the Brownhills Roundabout in Staffordshire has its Tin Man and the Tewkesbury Stonehills Roundabout has a wooden statue of a horse and rider charging into battle, so a committee of roundabout enthusiasts has put plans into East Riding of Yorkshire Council to site a huge yellow and blue-painted road cycle at the northern entrance to Beverley.

With Beverley now featuring regularly in the Tour de Yorkshire and the exciting news that it will host the opening stages of the UCI Road World Championships and the Paracycling event which runs alongside it in September, a huge cycle seemed to be the best way to record Beverley’s unique place on the cycling calendar.
