Guinness World Records names largest GPS drawing via bicycle: a velociraptor
The Guinness World Records named the largest global positioning system drawing via bicycle: a velociraptor.
French cyclists Florent Arnaud, Franck Delorme, Maxime Brugère, and Nicolas Meunier rode 1,025km in Montluçon in Allier, France to make the record on Nov. 6, 2022. They dethroned 2018's 761km heart drawing in Egypt's famed pyramids.
Guinness World Records said the French cyclists took six days to complete the art.
They chose velociraptor as the subject, the organization noted, because it's a play in the French word for bicycle, vélo.
More importantly, the cyclists said it's their attempt to raise awareness on climate change and promotion of cycling.
"Dinosaurs are a proof that strong species can go extinct quickly and a symbol of extinct species," they told Guinness World Records. "We are the main contributors and victims of this environmental crisis and as is, we have the future in our hands!"
This isn't the quartet's first GPS drawing.
In 2020, they created a 200.1-kilometer tyrannosaurus rex in Loire.
The following year, they made a 200.7-kilometer diplodocus in Saône-et-Loire.
