The famous Jeddah sculpture, The Bicycle, was relocated in 2015 to a new spot in the same intersection where it had stood since 1982. Its old home used to be in the center of a huge traffic roundabout. Many of the roundabouts in Jeddah have been dismantled in the past few years in an attempt to resolve horrible traffic issues. The roundabouts have been replaced with bridge overpasses, tunnels, or regular intersections.
The Bicycle stands 15 meters tall and is made of scrap iron. It was the creation of Spanish sculptor and architect Julio Lafuente. It is believed to be the largest bicycle in the world.
