World’s Largest Bicyclist



Before hitting up F.A.S.T. you can see a magnificent sample of Sparta’s fiberglass art in action at the entrance to the town. The Bicycle Man of Sparta aka “Ben Bikin” aka “Big Ben” stands at 32-feet tall and depicts a man riding an old-fashioned high-wheeler Victorian bicycle. Installed at his base is a speaker box that gives visitors an audio history of Sparta. He symbolized the town’s claim as the Bicycling Capital of America.
