Would anyone following that route please keep up the local tradition and have either a selfie or a group picture taken with the statue of Eric Morecambe.

Feel free to adorne Eric with suitable clothing / artifacts of your choice but bear in mind that cutting through his leg with a hacksaw has already been done and any repeated attempts will not be appreciated.

This tradition has been happily carried out by legions of football fans in the past so I see no reason why the biking community should not continue in the same vein. All we ask is that you leave Eric as you find him.
