Rebecca Laurel, 25, has already created other elaborate pictures - including a pumpkin, ghost and witch - by using a GPS device to plot her path on a digital map.

A cyclist has mapped out the shape of a skeleton in a Halloween-themed bike ride. It took Rebecca Laurel, 25, from Leicester, more than six hours to complete her 'spooky' cycle across the city. The skeleton shape is part of a series of bike rides featuring various Halloween designs. The route is plotted on to a digital map when a device with GPS tracking records her journey.

'The end of the legs and each rib, you go one way and then turn around and go back the same way, which kind of slows the route down a lot,' she said. 'It was a lot of the city centre, so it's slower and longer than a general ride.' The idea of making art through exercise is not new though. So-called 'Strava Art' - named after a gadget which records GPS data during exercise - has become popular online.
