Default Cyclist, 51, brings festive cheer to the streets of London

QUOTE:
A cyclist has brought festive cheer to the streets of London by riding a 79-mile route around the capital in the shape of a reindeer.

Anthony Hoyte, 51, cycles long distances along intricate routes so that they appear in the shape of animals on his Strava fitness tracker.

His latest work is his third annual Christmas image, which he believes is his greatest yet.

Mr Hoyte, of Cheltenham, cycled 79 miles from Hammersmith, west London, zigzagging across the city and finishing in Euston, to make a reindeer shape on his app.

It took him nine hours, going as far north as Edgware, before heading south again and east through Hampstead Heath and Wood Green.

Finally he returned south through Kilburn and Maida Vale before finishing along the Euston Road.

He said: 'I'm pretty happy with it. You plan them all out but until you get back and upload it, you're not quite sure whether it's going to work or not
