A human bike sculpture designed to mark the Tour of Britain in Bradford on Avon has been cancelled due to lack of numbers.

The moving bike was due to spin into action at Hartley Farm in Winsley at 10.30am on Friday and was going to be filmed from a helicopter and broadcast on tv channels worldwide.

It required 200 volunteers and despite creating a lot of interest, especially from the town’s mayor John Potter who was taking part, not enough people have signed up.
