A LARGE metal bicycle sculpture could soon greet visitors to Otley.

John Morgan is proposing to install the artwork, which could have the town’s name included in its design, on the Leeds Road roundabout.

He is offering to fund the design, construction and installation costs while asking Otley Town Council to consider taking on the insurance, maintenance and ownership duties.

Councillor Mary Vickers pointed out that Otley – home of Olympic and Commonwealth medal-winning rider Lizzie Armitstead (pictured) – was “famous for cycling”.
