Strava needs no introduction, it is used by millions of athletes including cyclists from all over the world. A very particular way to use the application is Strava Art, an increasingly popular trend which consists of tracing a path that reveals a drawing.

Anthony Hoyte went further and created a Velociraptor with a circumference of over 1000km!

Between October 30 and November 5, they were challenged to draw a velociraptor on their bicycle for 1.025km. It took Maxime Brugère, Florent Arnaud, Franck Delorme and Nicolas Meunier six days to bring their project to life. They managed to complete the challenge in 43 hours, 47 minutes and 26 seconds. Here is the direct link to the track.

"Dinosaurs are proof that such strong species can disappear quickly and that is what we are experiencing now with the sixth mass extinction. We are the main perpetrators of this environmental crisis, but also its main victims. Therefore, the future is in our hands and cycling is one of the best ways to contribute to change” – Anthony Hoyte

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
