Mini Biker?ANSWERS
Last June, this man taking a leisurely bike ride in London's Hampstead Heath was dwarfed by a giant table-and-chair sculpture. Italian artist Giancarlo Neri constructed the 9 meter (30 foot)-high sculpture--called "The Writer"--with six tons of steel, 1,000 pounds of wood, 200 gallons of paint, and hundreds of nuts and bolts. Ned installed his colossal creation in Hampstead Heath because the area has historically been home for many famous writers, including poet John Keats and novelist George Orwell.
