A rubbish cyclist

It's a pity that organisations have to go to great lengths to discourage people from littering. Refuse bins to receive litter and signs imploring their use are not, it seems, enough to prevent people from simply chucking it down. On a visit to Cannop Ponds in the Forest of Dean I came across another, quite novel, appeal to people's better nature. Alongside a well-used cycle track through the woods was a cyclist made of litter astride a stationary bicycle. It was so well-made I initially mistook it for the real thing.
