A Tribute To South Gloucestershire Council

Machine Sculpture Click to enlarge the inscription

The 'Machine Sculpture' is a recent addition to the sculpture trail on the Bristol to Bath Bicycle Track. It appears to be mostly constructed from scrap metal and broken auto parts but I think its kind of cool. Looking at the picture I can see a transmission chain, at least three gear cogs, a hub cap, a fender, eight spark plugs, a broken conrod plus various other bits.

I guess the sculptor wanted to express his appreciation too! The inscription reads:
THE ROAD WAS THE WORST HALUCINATION OF THEM ALL
LEADING TOWARDS HOME AND AWAY FROM IT
WITH TOO MANY SIGNS AND NO DIRECTIONS

Another Tribute To South Gloucestershire Council

Although the new gradients, diversions and ring road suck Nigel Jones would like to thank South Gloucestershire Council for the help in popularising my bicycle gear calculator!
