Hoyte, who has a background in product designing, told Daily Mail that his training in the field has helped him plan routes creatively. “I just spend a lot of time looking at maps and it’s waiting for things to jump out at you,” he added.

Hoyte produced his first cycling artwork in 2017 when he cycled in the shape of a snowman around London. The following year, he created a Santa Clause shape in Birmingham, which took him approximately 10 hours to finish.

Take a look at some of the reactions to Hoyte’s latest masterpiece:
